BOARD RESOLUTION

Whereas, a catastrophic illness is defined as a medical condition that necessitates prolonged confinement in a medical facility and a lengthened recovery period to resume normal unassisted activities.
Whereas, a catastrophic illness would require expenses because of the costs of extended hospitalization, medicines and physicians causing financial burden and disabling the person from working for a protracted time.
Whereas, the 2019-2020 PCGM board has decided that examples of a catastrophic illness are malignancies from any site, heart attack and stroke.
It is hereby resolved that fellows of the Philippine College of Geriatric Medicine who experience a catastrophic illness, as defined, will be given P15,000 as financial aid.
