Looking for the largest generic drug companies? Drugs, medicines, and healthcare have been more in the news in 2020 than we would have imagined in the beginning of the year. The Covid-19 crisis has put the pharmaceuticals industry forefront like never before and I’m sure you have heard “hydroxychloroquine” more times this year than you intended to! We’ve probably depended on generic drugs all through our lives. Remember popping Tylenol, when that headache you had got a tad bit too nagging? Well, that is acetaminophen! Generic drugs are identified by their chemical formula, and not a brand name. So basically, generic drugs would serve the exact same purpose, just without the brand name, and often at a much cheaper price.

+ December 17, 2020 AMID the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, the Cebu City Hospitalization Assistance and Medicines Program (Champ) was able to save P74.7 million on medical expenses in 2020.
Champ officer-in-charge Jundel Bontuyan, during the budget hearing of the proposed 2021 annual budget, said that as of the second week of December 2020, the Champ still has a remaining balance of P74.7 million for medical expenses.
Bontuyan said this was because many patient-beneficiaries decided not to go to the hospitals and have their medical checkup in health facilities for fear of contracting Covid-19.
We have a big remaining balance because some people opted not to have their checkup at this time, Bontuyan said in an interview.
