What is One Health Pass Philippines?
One Health Pass is a digital solution that simplifies the process of obtaining and managing travel processes and data collection, including health insurance for people travelling to and from the Philippines. It was piloted in August and is now fully implemented.
Requirements
Due to the nature of the system, you must provide accurate and vital information about yourself to the government. This ensures that your data is secure and is only used for the purposes of assessing and improving your health.
You can also register for One Healthpass online. To do so, go to this website (https://www.onehealthpass.com.ph/e-HDC/) and fill out the form. At the airport, you also need to produce your travel documents, such as your passport, plane ticket, and immunization card (a screenshot will do). As a result, keep these items on hand for both your departure and arrival.
Qualifications
All Filipinos wanting to travel must sign up for this system. This ensures a pleasant travel experience.
From September 1, 2021, all foreigners and Filipinos who enter the country will have to pass through the new entry system.
Features and Benefits
One Health Pass eliminates the need for paperwork. It saves time and helps travellers avoid getting caught up in the endless paperwork that usually accompanies getting on an airplane.
This digital platform is ideal for travelers who do not need a cellular or internet connection while they’re at the airport. It’s also available wherever you are.
The system is designed to provide you with a variety of features that allow you to monitor and record all your activities, so that you can focus on keeping yourself and your family safe.
For Filipinos who are going to be working in other countries, having a quarantine can help prepare them for their return to work. It can also reduce the stress of going back and forth with their agencies.
