The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) welcomes the appointment of Dr. Edwin M. Mercado as its new President and Chief Executive Officer (PCEO). The entire PhilHealth family extends its full support to Dr. Mercado as he steers the Agency to new heights.
With Dr. Mercado’s solid experience in the medical field and proven leadership and management expertise, we are confident that through his leadership, PhilHealth will continue to successfully carry out the mandate of the National Health Insurance Program and fulfill the aspirations of Universal Health Care for the benefit of all 115 million Filipinos.
PhilHealth would also like to extend its deep gratitude to outgoing PCEO Emmanuel R. Ledesma, Jr. who spearheaded very important reforms in the last two years, especially in the area of claims payments and benefit enhancements.
