"PhilCare believes that prevention is always better than cure.  Other than leading a health lifestyle, Filipinos should also be able to have immediate access to their doctors during onset of any illness or even just to check the progress of their health.  Our new Unlimited Medical and Dental Consultation cards will address this need"

This how Ms. Noemi Azura, President and CEO of PhilCare emphasized the importance of preventive health and allow ordinary Filipino to avail unlimited consultation services for 12 months nationwide.

When PhilCare conducted a PhilCare Wellness Index of more than 1, 200 respondent nationwide, surprisingly these are most common practice when it comes to dealing with our health and wellness.

1.  We, Filipinos, only think about our health when we feel sick or ailing.

2.  We also believe in custom self medication during the time of illness.  

3.  Sadly, we also know that visiting a physician or a doctor  cost us money.  This is also one of the reasons why we are preventing ourselves from seeing a doctor during sickness.

In-spite the fact that 59% of Filipinos have access to doctors, majority or 74% still choose to self medicate than consult a doctor.  What makes this alarming is that Filipinos view on health is often on the "curative" and not preventive.  Meaning, they will only consult or see a doctor when they are already sick.  For others, it's 

high cost of consultation that prevents them from seeing a doctor upon on-set illness.  

This is the reason why PhilCare introduce the Unlimited Medical and Dental Consultation Cards which allows the holder to avail the consultation services for 12 months nationwide.
