Hi i would like to seek help for medical bills assistance for my brother, Ryan Paul Miranda (35 yrs old) was confined for more than a month battling with Severe Pneumonia Covid Positive at A. Zarate General Hospital. His total hospital bill was 1.8M, Philhealth only covered 143k since the hospital was only a primary hospital. We were able to pay only 900k and we just issued a promissory note to settle the rest of the bill. Please help us as we already exhausted everything including loans just to pay the initial 900k. Thank You.
