Social Care
Providing medical assistance and support to individuals and families in need, ensuring access to care when it matters most.
Social Care Program
Alan Peter “Compañero” Cayetano is deeply committed to improving access to healthcare for Filipinos, especially the underprivileged and indigent patients across the Philippines. Through his Medical Help initiatives — widely known as the Social Care (Tulong-Medikal) Program — Cayetano’s office provides direct medical assistance, helping those who struggle with the high costs of treatment, hospital bills, medicines, procedures, and related healthcare needs.
The program is part of a larger hospital and community outreach effort that brings medical support directly to patients — particularly those with limited financial means — by setting up medical assistance desks at hospitals and during medical caravans in partnership with local government units and the Department of Health (DOH).
Impact & Outreach Highlights
National Coverage
Cayetano’s team sets up Social Care assistance desks within major hospitals nationwide to assist patients with:
- Payment of hospital bills
- Medicines and medical supplies
- Laboratory and diagnostic fees
- Coverage for medical procedures and vaccines
Nearly all medical-care needs — from routine checkups to emergency treatments — are covered with the intent of easing financial burdens and improving patient access to care.
Examples of Outreach
Since October 2022, the Social Care initiative has assisted thousands of patients across the Philippines by setting up help desks in various public and private hospitals.
