Maxicare's Prima Cards Offer Affordable Healthcare for Filipino Women

Accessing healthcare remains a challenge for many women in the Philippines. A 2022 survey revealed that over half of women aged 15 to 49 faced difficulties when seeking medical help. In response, Maxicare has launched Prima, a range of prepaid healthcare cards and e-vouchers designed to simplify and expand access to essential services.

To mark Mother’s Day, the company is encouraging families to consider these plans as practical gifts for mothers who often prioritise others over their own health. The 2022 Philippines National Demographic and Health Survey highlighted key obstacles for women seeking care. The most frequent issue, reported by 42%, was the inability to afford treatment costs. Another 18% cited reluctance to attend appointments alone.

Maxicare’s Prima suite offers tiered options to address these barriers. The basic Prima Consult plan, priced at ₱999 per year, covers unlimited doctor consultations, one Annual Physical Exam, and Personal Accident Protection. For ₱9,999 annually, Prima Access adds select laboratory tests and diagnostics to the Consult package.

At the premium end, Prima Elite costs ₱19,999 per year and includes unlimited access to a broader range of laboratory procedures and diagnostic tests. The company also provides Prima for Moms, a ₱16,499 prenatal care bundle. This covers all three trimesters, with unlimited consultations, including OB-Gyn visits.

The plans aim to remove financial and logistical hurdles, making it easier for women to receive timely medical attention. Families looking for meaningful Mother’s Day gifts can explore these options as a way to support mothers’ health needs. Maxicare’s Prima products provide flexible, prepaid healthcare solutions tailored to different needs and budgets. By reducing cost-related barriers, the plans seek to improve access for women who often delay or avoid medical care. More details on the offerings are available at shop.maxihealth.com.ph.
