To bring government aid closer to its people and eliminate the need to line up at City Hall at dawn, Pasig City has decentralized its social services, deploying dedicated Social Welfare Assistance Center (SWAC) help desks across the city’s various Barangay health networks and localized processing desks.
This guide outlines exactly where to go, what paperwork to secure, and how the simplified local process works.

The Specialized Hospital Gateways
If the patient is actively confined or receiving direct treatments like chemotherapy or hemodialysis, you can process your requirements at the localized medical social service desks on-site at Pasig's premier public health facilities:
1. Document Intake and Validation
Submit your folder of documents to the assigned SWAC officer or the hospital's on-site social services counter. The worker will review your requirements for mandatory physician details and clear diagnostic matching.
2. Social Case Assessment
Fill out the local intake form. A registered medical social worker will interview you briefly to establish your household's socio-economic situation and evaluate the exact financial gap in your medical bills.
4. Release of the Guarantee Letter
Once approved by the authorized supervisor or designated health coordinator, your physical Guarantee Letter is generated and printed directly at the desk for immediate release.
5. Deduction from Final Bill
Present the printed GL to the hospital's main billing section, laboratory cashier, or partner pharmacy to instantly slash the approved amount from your overall balance.

By default, standard Pasig LGU Medical Guarantee Letters are designed for seamless integration with Pasig City General Hospital (PCGH) and Pasig City Children's Hospital (PCCH). If your patient is confined in a specialized national public hospital or a private institution due to complex complications, inform your local social worker immediately so they can draft an official Social Case Study Report required to tap external national funds like the DSWD-AICS network.
