Tamang Alaga is a consortium of healthcare companies that would like to offer more health benefits to employees. It includes RiteMed, MSD, Mt. Grace Hospitals, and Unilab, among others. It establishes a strategic partnership with the human resource departments of organizations that have existing medical programs, ensuring a seamless integration of its platform into their healthcare system.

At the moment, Tamang Alaga boasts prestigious partnerships with renowned companies, including Allianz PNB Life, Phil. Gold Processing & Refining Corporation, Filminera Resources Corporation, and Medicare Plus Inc.

A shared vision in promoting employee health

While acquiring Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) coverage and securing medication benefits are undeniably crucial for employees, it is equally essential to underscore the importance of awareness. With the help of Tamang Alaga's platform, corporations can provide access to high-quality and affordable medications while promoting health literacy within their institution.

The partnership ensures employees are well-informed about health conditions, helps them manage and prevent diseases, and encourages medication compliance. Ultimately, the end goal of this collaboration is to keep the Filipino workforce healthy.

When employees are well-informed about health-related matters, they not only experience a sense of security but also make better, more informed choices for themselves and their families.

Co-creating an online pharmacy for employees through Tamang Alaga

Companies can have their own branded microsite where employees can conveniently purchase their medications and supplements, either partially or fully subsidized by the HMO or employers. Employers and HMOs can choose to extend a special rate for out-of-pocket medicine and supplement expenses for their employees for their personal use or for their family members. Of course, Tamang Alaga ensures rigorous quality control testing to guarantee top-quality medications from its partners.

Working together to craft exclusive employee perks

Through the platform, partner companies have the option to provide benefits. Rewards may help contribute to employee satisfaction and even boost morale. These benefits may include discounts, vouchers and other freebies.

Access to prescription medicines

“Tamang Alaga makes healthcare accessible and convenient to our customers by allowing them to purchase vitamins, supplements, and even maintenance medicines in the comfort of their own homes. An online pharmacist verifies the purchase of maintenance medicine — a game-changer in healthcare,” says Allianz PNB Life on how Tamang Alaga made prescription medicines accessible to their employees.

Employees or patients gain access to a wide range of prescription medications through the platform. They can conveniently upload their prescriptions for verification.

The uploaded prescriptions are promptly reviewed and verified by Tamang Alaga's Online Pharmacist, ensuring compliance with medical guidelines and safety measures.

Tamang Alaga’s health advocacy

Tamang Alaga actively supports employees or patients in their healthcare journey, raising awareness about health-related matters, and contributing to better healthcare utilization and crisis response.
