KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 (Bernama) -- MedPro International, through its philanthropic Global Giving programme, sponsored medical services to more than 300 patients at a one-day event in Loma in Biñan City, Philippines.
Held at a local medical centre, the event provided comprehensive care, including vital screenings, cardiac electrocardiogram (EKG) tests, x-rays, urine analyses, and doctor consultations.
MedPro International Executive Vice President, Patty Jeffrey said Medpro recognises the importance of healthcare access and its direct correlation to a prosperous community.
“We are focused on giving back to these communities which have played such a critical role in supporting US healthcare,” she said in a statement.
All patients received thorough medical evaluations from volunteer doctors and nurses, followed by any necessary testing, where the patients were given vitamins, a 30-day supply of medication for conditions such as hypertension, and a prescription for future use.
MedPro International, in partnership with Perpetual Health, provided funding for the event and plans to host events as well as partner with local universities and hospitals to support existing programmes.
Recognising that healthcare sustainability is a pressing global concern, MedPro International is committed to fostering enduring relationships to address the unique healthcare needs of local communities worldwide and nurture the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Global Giving prioritises partnering with other organisations to serve local communities’ health needs in addition to equipping students and faculty with the necessary tools and knowledge to excel as healthcare clinicians.
