Philippines secures $79Mn in healthcare BPO deals at global conference
NEVADA, UNITED STATES — Filipino exhibitors secured $79 million in deals at the 2025 HIMSS Global Health Conference, cementing the Philippines‘ position as a top destination for healthcare outsourcing.
The milestone, highlighted at a Chicago trade seminar, underscores the country’s rapid growth in healthcare information management (HIMS).
Why global healthcare firms choose the Philippines
Trade Commissioner Benedict Uy noted the industry now employs 1.8 million Filipinos and generates $38 billion annually, with HIMS leading expansion at 9% yearly growth.
The country’s more than 400 specialized firms offer expertise in medical billing, compliance, and patient services, making it a preferred partner for United States healthcare providers.
Investor confidence in the country has increased due to the Data Privacy Act and CREATE MORE Law, which provide tax breaks.
Talking about cost savings, preparing contracts, and handling liability made Philippine HIMS solutions attractive to many attendees.
Bridging U.S. healthcare firms with Philippine talent
A DTI-led seminar, “Bridging Filipino-American Businesses and Philippine Healthcare BPO,” showcased targeted efforts to connect U.S. home health agencies with Philippine service providers.
More than 45 Filipino-American healthcare executives at the Chicago seminar proved that the U.S. is now interested in using Philippine outsourcing services.
The Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC) in New York emphasized the Philippines’ cost efficiency and skilled English-speaking workforce, key draws for American companies facing staffing shortages.
Participants’ practical questions on payroll, taxes, and insurance signaled a shift from curiosity to serious engagement.
As demand for telehealth and back-office support surges, the country’s government-backed training programs ensure a steady talent pipeline to sustain growth.
