00:00I think it's a case-to-case talaga yung ganito. It really depends on what the condition of the patient
00:08is.
00:10I would say that long-term impact-wise, the reason why we are reinvesting in primary care is because for
00:18us, we call it our strategic bet to long-term sustainability, even of the PhilHealth Fund.
00:25Because when patients are, so I guess now we always mention this, that 25% of what we spend in
00:33terms of payout goes to dialysis.
00:36You can just imagine, 25% of around $400 billion that we're paying out is just dialysis.
00:42And these could be patients that have been seen at the yakap level and have gotten their medicines from gamot
00:51very early on.
00:53So their hypertension and their diabetes is controlled.
00:56So we don't need to spend $100 billion plus just for dialysis.
01:01I think yun yung pinakasimple.
01:02And that also goes for, if patients are on dialysis, granted, libre sila sa PhilHealth,
01:08pero dahil apat na beses sila nagdadialysis kada linggo, wala na po silang trabaho.
01:14Hindi sila makapagtrabaho, et cetera.
01:16Not productive in their own way.
01:18So this is really our objective.
01:21And the out-of-pocket payment is one part of it.
01:25But their productivity is certainly a huge part of the impact that we want to get out of this.
01:33And so yes.
02:03We'll see you next time.
