Lack of Finance for Medicines? See these Updated Government Offices for Assistance

Living with Lupus can drastically affect a family's finances as its treatment and medications are very expensive.

Since the election, the giving out of cash aids for patients with different diseases was postponed because of the transition process from the old administration to the new one.

The good news is that aside from DSWD, local government, MALASAKIT centers, and private foundations, our National government is willing to provide cash aid or guarantee letters for medical assistance, hospitalization, treatments/surgeries, and financial aid, and these said social services are now restored.

Like how you do the process with your local government the following will be needed:

For medical assistance

1. Prescription of medicine (reseta)

2. Quotation of your medicines
