The Philippines 2022 national budget secured free COVID-19 testing

The Philippines has allocated  P17.85 billion under the 2022 national budget for Covid-19 testing, aiming to ensure affordability and accessibility to the tests among its population. The funds will be allocated to the state laboratories so that more free tests can be provided to those who need them. For those who opt to do their tests at private laboratories, the costs will be subsidized by the government through PhilHealth.
