I am in need of financial support.

Picture
In the Philippines, we are privileged to have PCSO, a government institution that provides medical assistance to those in need. They  give guarantee letters to the hospital where the patient is confined in. "A guarantee letter is a certification issued to hospitals for a particular charity patient under the PCSO medical assistance program where the agency assumes the obligation of settling the cost of hospitalization, including the medicines, medical, surgical or blood supplies, and diagnostic procedures." The patient's immediate family must secure the ff:

DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
  • Letter Request to Chairman/General Manager
  • Medical Abstract
  • Bill/Quotation/Costing from Hospital Pharmacy/Supplies
  • Laboratory Request/Medicine Prescription
  • Endorsement/Acceptance letter from Hospital Social Services/Credit Collection Office

Please make sure to submit above documents at least one week before the patient is discharged.

Where can I secure IVIG at a lower price?

Picture
Treatment for GBS and CIDP varies per patient and depends on what the physician deems best. If and when the treatment includes a dose of IVIG, and the hospital allows external sourcing of medicines, you may contact the manufacturer directly to get significant discounts.

In the country, the leading pharmaceutical company that supplies IVIG is Baxter. If you need more info/contact number, please leave us a note here.
