On a case to case basis, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), issues Guarantee Letters (GL) through its Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS) program. Through these GLs, beneficiaries can purchase medicine, get hospitalized, access health and other types of services.
One of the places where people can use DSWD GLs is Mercury Drug Store, which is among the leading pharmaceutical stores in the Philippines. Recently, the company releases a list of 171 select branches that accept DSWD GLs, starting November 4, 2024.
