To all our beloved Senior Citizen suki. ๐ฅฐ
Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa announced that the Department of Health (DOH) has issued a new administrative order (AO) removing the requirement for senior citizens to present a purchase booklet when claiming their discounts on medicines.
"Senior citizen rin ako. Alam kong mahirap laging magdala ng purchase booklet. Kailangan ng mga nakatatanda ang diskwento sa kanilang mga gamot, at dapat madali nating makuha iyon," Herbosa said.
Under DOH AO No. 2024-0017, seniors will no longer need to show the booklet, along with a valid ID and doctorโs prescription, to avail of their discounts.
Senior citizens will now have to present their valid ID and doctorโs prescription.
