In line with its mission to provide easier access to government medical and financial assistance, the Philippine government established Malasakit Centers across the country.
These are one-stop shops that bring together key agencies like the Department of Health (DOH), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), helping indigent and financially challenged Filipinos avail of medical support.

What Services Do Malasakit Centers Offer?
Malasakit Centers streamline the process for patients needing financial assistance by centralizing access to the following agencies:
- DSWD: For financial aid to cover hospital bills
- PCSO: For medical assistance and medicines
- DOH: For government hospital services
- PhilHealth: For insurance coverage of medical procedures and confinement
Patients no longer have to visit each agency separately. This setup reduces paperwork, long queues, and delays.
Who Can Avail?
Primarily intended for:
- Indigent and low-income Filipinos
- Admitted patients in government hospitals
- Patients with unpaid medical bills
- Patients in need of government medical subsidy
Here's a complete Guide on How to Avail Malasakit Center Medical and Financial Assistance
Final Note
Whether you’re in Quezon City, Manila, or anywhere else in Metro Manila, a Malasakit Center is now more accessible than ever. It's a testament to the government’s efforts to make healthcare more inclusive and efficient.
If you or someone you know is in need of medical assistance, check if your nearest government hospital hosts a Malasakit Center—and get the help you need without the hassle.
