HERBOSA: PURCHASE BOOKLET NO LONGER REQUIRED FOR SENIOR MEDICINE DISCOUNT*
Press Release | 23 December 2024

Health Secretary Teodoro J. Herbosa announced today that he has signed a new Department of Health (DOH) administrative order (AO) to remove the requirement of a purchase booklet for senior citizens to avail their discount on medicines following the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010.

DOH AO No. 2024-0017 deletes the requirement for seniors to present a purchase booklet to drugstores, which before accompanied valid identification and a doctor's prescription, in order to get a discount.

"I am also a senior citizen. I know it is hard to always bring a purchase booklet with you. Seniors need the discount on their medicines, and we must make it easy for them to get that," said Secretary Herbosa. "On behalf of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., we at the DOH give this gift of convenience and more affordable medicines to all of our senior citizens. Merry Christmas po!" concluded the Health Chief.
