Magsaysay Shipping & Logistics (MSL), a leader in the Philippine maritime and logistics industry, has proudly partnered with the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to pilot the groundbreaking Yaman ng Kalusugan Program (YAKAP), marking a significant step toward making comprehensive healthcare more accessible and affordable for its employees.
Magsaysay People (MPs)—the company’s dedicated workforce—were among the first beneficiaries of the pilot program, which is designed to provide proactive and protective healthcare services at little to no cost.
The inaugural YAKAP event held at the Magsaysay facility was met with enthusiasm and immediate positive impact. Employees and their families were provided with a suite of essential healthcare services, including:
Free Medical Consultations: Direct access to medical professionals for personalized advice and diagnosis.
Comprehensive Laboratory Tests: Provision of key diagnostic tests to monitor and maintain good health.
Health Risk Assessments: Tools to identify potential health issues early, encouraging preventive action.
PhilHealth Registration and Update Services: On-site assistance to ensure employees and their dependents are fully registered and able to maximize their PhilHealth benefits.
The successful launch underscores Magsaysay Shipping & Logistics’ deep-seated commitment to employee welfare, prioritizing the health, safety, and financial security of its Magsaysay People.
The YAKAP program goes beyond traditional curative care by focusing heavily on prevention and early intervention. By bringing vital healthcare services directly to the workplace, the initiative aims to:
Reduce Medical Costs: Help employees avoid high out-of-pocket expenses by addressing health concerns before they become serious.
Ensure Peace of Mind: Provide employees and their families with the security of knowing quality healthcare is readily available.
Promote a Healthier Workforce: Contribute to a more productive and resilient workforce through better health outcomes.
‘Our people are our greatest asset. Partnering with PhilHealth and DOLE for YAKAP is a direct investment in their well-being, ensuring they have the peace of mind and health they deserve,’ said a spokesperson of Magsaysay Shipping & Logistics.
‘This pilot program with a reputable partner like Magsaysay sets a powerful example for the private sector. YAKAP is a blueprint for how government agencies can effectively collaborate with businesses to bring quality healthcare closer to the Filipino worker,’ stated a spokesperson of PhilHealth.
With the support of its government partners, MSL is poised to continue championing programs like YAKAP that secure the health and future of its dedicated workforce.
