The launch took place on October 1 at the Manila Marriott Hotel in Pasay City, attended by media representatives, partners, and industry leaders. The event featured award-winning actress and wellness advocate Jodi Sta. Maria, who delivered an inspiring talk titled “Wellness: The Investment You Can’t Ignore.” Her message underscored the growing importance of prevention and holistic well-being—values that align perfectly with Oona’s mission to go beyond treatment and empower Filipinos to live healthier lives.
Meeting Evolving Healthcare Needs
As healthcare costs continue to outpace income growth, Oona’s new health products respond to the increasing demand for better, more flexible medical coverage among Filipino families.
Global Shield is designed for globally mobile Filipinos who seek access to world-class hospitals and medical specialists across the globe. It includes comprehensive benefits, with competitive options for treatment in Singapore, Hong Kong, and other leading medical destinations.
Purple Shield, on the other hand, provides Filipino families with affordable, peso-based coverage that ensures access to top-tier hospitals, doctors, and preventive healthcare services right here in the Philippines.
Together, these two plans move beyond traditional “one-size-fits-all” health insurance, offering Filipinos the freedom to choose coverage that fits their lifestyle, needs, and financial goals.
Oona first entered the health protection space last year with its critical illness insurance offerings. The introduction of Global Shield and Purple Shield marks an expansion of its portfolio—signaling Oona’s long-term commitment to providing comprehensive, accessible, and future-ready healthcare protection for every Filipino household.
Digital-First and Customer-Centered
What truly sets Oona apart is its digital-first, customer-first approach. The company’s technology-driven platform simplifies every step of the insurance experience, from application to claims.

Instant online quotes and same-day policy issuance for eligible applicants
Real-time claims tracking with full transparency
24/7 digital access to policy details, benefits, and claims utilization

This seamless ecosystem delivers speed, transparency, and convenience—setting a new benchmark for health insurance in the Philippines.
Leadership Insights
“The Philippines is ready for a new standard in health protection,” said Abhishek Bhatia, Founder and Group CEO of Oona Insurance. “Rising medical costs and changing lifestyles demand solutions that go beyond the basics. With Global Shield and Purple Shield, we’re reimagining healthcare for Filipinos—delivering world-class coverage, digital accessibility, and peace of mind wherever they are in the world.”
“For Filipinos, protection isn’t just about paying hospital bills—it’s about keeping families healthy,” added Ninoy Rollan, CEO of Oona Philippines. “That’s why we go beyond treatment to include preventive and wellness benefits like annual check-ups, vaccinations, mental health support, and telemedicine. True protection means taking care of mind, body, and family.”
