AC Health Confirms Expansion Plans for Healthway Medical Network

Just got back from the festivities held at the Altaraza Town Center as they made QualiMed San Jose Del Monte a part of the new Healthway Medical Network and named it Healthway Qualimed Hospital - San Jose Del Monte now. They are under AC Health, a subsidiary of Ayala Corporation which thrust is building a healthcare ecosystem that will provide healthcare for all!

We had the chance to talk to AC Health President and CEO Paolo Borromeo where he mentions how they plan to expand into more areas around the country and utilize funding to build, operate medical facilities and clinics to reach and serve even more people, to give medical services that are apt for the location and retrofit, renovate, build new facilities where it's needed. Here's a glimpse of the new Healthway Qualimed Hospital in SJDM Bulacan on video:

 

 

Sir Jaime Augusto Zobel De Ayala was there during the occasion and says "I am delighted to be here to be with you. Glad to see Ayala Corporation peers, LGU's all who have been such a big help, thank you for being here. It's an honor to be with you, during the pandemic, SJDM is the first COVID testing center and we had an opportunity to administer vaccines during a very crucial time. Today we celebrate a milestone, with a new name, as Qualimed is now part of Healthway Medical Network, a part of a larger care network. We plan to expand our medical facilities, including clinics in key tour areas around the country. As our ecosystem expands under the Healthway Medical Network, we promise Health Beyond Cure."

Aside from Mr. Ayala and Paolo Borromeo, the Congresswoman, several LGU executives and representatives from the provincial government of Bulacan were there to witness the event. As a way to thank them, they were presented with Healthway Care Cards for their constituents, both for the city and provincial government so if they would need to help people in their locale, they can go to the Healthway QualiMed Hospital in San Jose Del Monte and be attended by talented Doctors, Specialists, Nurses and staff that has made this place what it is today.

Mr. Ayala also thanked them all for the work they have done during and after the pandemic, but mentions it's far from over. He said sorry because he couldn't thank them personally one by one (because of time constraints) but he knows how hard they've worked these past few years as the acquisition of QualiMed by AC Health pushed through. This will be just the start of even more hospitals and clinics that AC Health plans to acquire in the next few years because they plan to invest more in health services as part of their company's goals for the country. So make sure you follow their social channels to know more about their cause.

Congratulations Healthway QualiMed Hospital in San Jose Del Monte Bulacan!

The Medical City Launches "TMC Partner Link"

It's been a while since I've been to Medical City in Ortigas and the last thing I've heard about them was where some of my celebrity friends mentioned some lapses in customer service (re: Rocco Nacino's encounter with a Doctor) but it's a good thing they are constantly trying to make improvements and making it less of a hassle for patients. Last June 19, they launched a program called "TMC Partner Link" where they provides patients and partners easy and secure access to their medical records. This is actually done via the Internet, and what's great is that this is all free - NO CHARGES at all.

This new facility actually would contain the patients laboratory and radiology diagnostic results. This also will show summaries of the patient's activity after their discharge. Wherever they are, whenever they are, they can also see personal health trackers that enable them to monitor vital signs through a graphic interface. They would be able to see blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar and weight which is fully synced on the hospital's electronic medical records, a feat that other hospitals in the country has never done yet. This system also allow doctors to monitor their patients without frequent hospital visits making the meager communication way efficient equivalent to a real deal consultation. 

Dr. Mike Muin, Health IT Head of The Medical City says that the portal also employs a strict identification verification and authentication procedure to protect sensitive medical records and personal information from unauthorized access. All data is securely stored on a repository inside the confines of The Medical City. Users who have been admitted from June 24, 2013 onwards will be offered the service as part of their standard admission procedures. They just need to visit the hospital's website http://www.themedicalcity.com. For those who have been confined earlier can easily call or email TMC’s Customer Service Department to sign up for a Partner Link account and have the same privileges as these patients.

The Perfect Life

We all wished for the perfect life. Maybe to get a wife who would always be there for you, a kid who would cheer you up when you get back from the office... a family you can call your own. Health is one of the most important things you can give them; and if your family members do not get sick, you wouldn't have to spend a single dime for hospitalization. Your funds will be intact and you get to enjoy life as it is. There are some instances though that no matter what you do in order to keep your family safe; they would still encounter problems in health. I heard of cases where normal prescription medicine even have harmful side effects; when you just wanted to cure a simple case all along. Take the Paxil Lawsuit for example which was initially marketed as an anti depressant. It turns out that there are now documented clinical studies where it is said that it can cause birth defects. If you are an expecting mother and you didn't know that right from the beginning how would you feel if something happened to your child?! Isn't that unfair?!

Fair warning and some sort of precaution should have been given even before releasing this particular drug. No matter how intelligent of a life form we are our babies can't defend themselves upon birth. No amount of fame or fortune would be able to equate the lives of these children. It's so right to ask for help and reprimand those who have wronged the innocent. Suicidal tendencies and harm one's self isn't my idea of a cure so if you are took this medicine in the past and showed the same symptoms, get some help and don't hesitate to ask!

What if this happened to you?! What would you do?!
