MANILA, Philippines — Oona Insurance, one of the Philippines’ fastest-growing general insurers, has launched two flagship health products: Global Shield, an international plan with worldwide coverage of up to USD 2 million for globally mobile Filipinos and Purple Shield, a premier peso-based plan with up to ₱5 million in local coverage for families seeking exceptional care close to home.
The launch took place on October 1 at the Manila Marriott Hotel in Pasay City, attended by media, partners and industry leaders. The event featured a talk by award-winning actress and wellness advocate Jodi Sta. Maria, who spoke on “Wellness: The Investment You Can’t Ignore,” highlighting the growing importance of prevention and holistic care, which is in line with Oona’s mission to support both treatment and wellness.
Meeting evolving needs with global shield and purple shield
With medical costs rising faster than incomes and families demanding better private care, Oona’s new plans provide meaningful choice:
- Global Shield: An international flagship plan for globally mobile Filipinos, offering access to leading hospitals and specialists worldwide, including competitive rates for options to seek treatment in Singapore and across the region.
- Purple Shield: A premier peso-based plan for Filipino families seeking comprehensive, affordable protection at home.
Together, these plans move beyond the one-size-fits-all model of traditional insurance. By offering both international and local options, Oona ensures Filipinos can access protection that is flexible, relevant, and comprehensive.
Last year, Oona entered health protection with critical illness insurance. The launch of Global Shield and Purple Shield expands its spectrum of health products and reinforces its commitment to long-term, comprehensive protection for Filipino families.
Digital-first, customer-first
What sets Oona apart is not only coverage, but its customer experience. Its digital-first platform makes every step faster and simpler through:
- Instant quotes and same-day policy issuance for eligible applicants
- Real-time claim tracking with transparent summaries
- Online access to policy details, utilization, and claims
- Paperless onboarding with e-signatures
- Fully digital overseas claims for faster reimbursement
This end-to-end ecosystem delivers faster, clearer, and more convenient protection, which sets a new benchmark for health insurance in the Philippines.
Leadership perspectives
“The Philippines is ready for a new standard in health protection. Rising medical costs and changing lifestyles demand solutions that go beyond the basics, offering quality, choice, and confidence,” said Abhishek Bhatia, Founder and Group CEO of Oona Insurance. “With Global Shield and Purple Shield, we are reimagining healthcare for Filipinos and delivering world-class coverage, seamless digital access and peace of mind, whether at home or anywhere in the world.”
“For Filipinos, protection isn’t just about covering hospital bills. It’s about staying healthy and caring for the whole family,” said Ninoy Rollan, CEO of Oona Philippines. “That’s why we go beyond treatment to include preventive and wellness benefits like check-ups, vaccinations, mental health support, and telemedicine. Health protection must be holistic in order to provide everyday peace of mind for Filipino families.”
Accessible Care, Anytime, Anywhere
Through partnerships with MediLink and Doctor Anywhere, Oona members enjoy cashless transactions across 650+ hospitals and clinics nationwide, 24/7 access to 750+ doctors online, and the freedom to consult their preferred international health practitioners.
Global Shield and Purple Shield reflect Oona’s vision to make health protection accessible, digital, and family-first, giving Filipinos the confidence that with the right shield, nothing holds them back.
