Nurturing Health, Protecting Dreams: Sun Life Boosts Healthcare Access For Ofws And Seafarers

Protecting one’s health is a priority for many Filipinos. After all, it is key to achieving their goals and living their best lives. An illness can not only derail plans but also impact one's overall well-being and outlook on life.

This is especially true for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). They move abroad to make a living and support their families; however, they must also cope with living far from home and adapting to new cultures and environments. Should they get sick, it can disrupt their work abroad or it can be a possible reason for them to be sent back abruptly, which can have significant consequences on their finances, their family’s goals such as building their own house or business, and ultimately, derail their dream of coming home for good.
