SureServ, the pioneer of the “Gamot Now, Pay Later” (GNPL) service, has announced a major partnership with Mercury Drug, the Philippines’ most trusted drugstore chain. This collaboration brings a new level of healthcare accessibility to millions of Filipino employees, offering a smarter, more compassionate way to secure essential medicines without the burden of immediate payment.
Empowering Working Filipinos with Accessible Healthcare
Through this partnership, employees of companies partnered with SureServ can now conveniently purchase medicines and health essentials from any Mercury Drug branch nationwide—and pay later through a simple salary deduction. This innovative setup removes the long-standing financial barrier that often prevents workers from getting timely medical care.
For many Filipinos living paycheck to paycheck, medical expenses can be overwhelming. SureServ’s GNPL program offers a practical solution: it ensures that no one has to choose between their health and daily needs. Whether it’s buying maintenance medicines for chronic conditions or filling a sudden prescription, the program guarantees access when it matters most.
A Shared Mission for Health and Financial Inclusion
“SureServ was built on the idea that no Filipino should have to choose between their health and their financial stability,” said Johnny Bondoc, Founder and CEO of SureServ. “By partnering with a trusted name like Mercury Drug, we are bridging the gap between urgent medical needs and affordability, empowering employees to access care immediately.”
Mercury Drug’s vast network of branches and reputation for reliability perfectly align with SureServ’s mission of promoting inclusive healthcare. Together, they are redefining how employers can support their workforce’s well-being—making health not just a privilege but a right that is accessible to every working Filipino.
Benefits for Both Employees and Employers
The partnership also offers distinct advantages to employers. Through SureServ’s GNPL program, companies can strengthen their employee wellness and retention initiatives without added administrative complexity. By offering workers an easy and dignified way to handle medical expenses, businesses can foster a healthier, more productive, and loyal workforce.
“For companies, GNPL is an innovative and hassle-free way to enhance employee wellness and retention programs; for workers, it simply means peace of mind for when the unexpected happens,” Bondoc added.
Expanding Reach and Impact
SureServ currently serves thousands of members across critical industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and manpower services. With this new partnership, the company aims to extend its reach to more employers and employees nationwide, ensuring that healthcare access becomes a standard benefit—not a privilege.
As the Philippines continues to evolve in its digital and financial inclusion efforts, SureServ’s GNPL program stands as a shining example of innovation with heart—empowering Filipino workers to take care of their health, one salary-friendly payment at a time.
