"According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 24% of the global population or over 450 million people around the world suffer from different mental or neurological disorders – and unbeknownst to most, mental health issues are actually considered one of the leading causes of disability worldwide."
"6. WHAT OPTIONS DID PATIENTS HAVE BEFORE THE RA 11036 WAS PASSED?

Moreover, the package was only at a very minimum rate of PhP 7,800."
