MANILA, Philippines – Health is wealth — and more. Good health promotes productivity and inspires goodness all around. Unfortunately, health is also something that most people take for granted, as they get caught up in their jobs or, in most cases, because of financial constraints. Preventive care is key, and the earlier one knows if anything is physically unsound, the better it will be for the person in the long run, both psychologically and financially.
Dr. Ana Marie Nicolas, Healthway’s Family Medicine doctor, says that preventive care is a valuable tool in maintaining good health. “Through regular health tests and checkups, we are able to give proper diagnosis and treatment to our patients before they become serious enough as to be life-threatening to them.”
Wellness is one good approach to combating sickness. It is an approach to health care that emphasizes illness prevention and prolonging one’s life.
This month, Healthway Medical, the country’s premier and most preferred mall- based multi-specialty clinic in the country, drives home this message as it offers its valued clients five different wellness packages for only P999 each, namely Love, Beauty Smile, Active, and Protect.
Love consists of FBS, creatinine, BUN, cholesterol and uric acid tests which are perfect for lifestyle-related diseases. This package used to be priced at P 2,003.
On the other hand, individuals who have been having problems lately with their bones and/or muscles can avail themselves of Healthway’s Active package, which consists of a calcium test, posture evaluation, and 1 MPS or physical therapy session. The package’s original price was P1,865.
The Protect package, originally priced at P1,380, is ideal for people who want to guard against hepatitis B disease, as it includes a hepa B vaccine and a consult from a primary care physician.
Smile is offered to individuals who want to have a cleaner and healthy set of teeth. The package, originally priced at P1,900, comprises a dental checkup and an oral prophylaxis.
The Beauty package is perfect for individuals who want to pamper themselves as it offers spot underarm whitening and an ultra firming facial. The package’s original price was P 2,200.
“We came up with different packages because we wanted to attend to everyone’s demands and give everyone a fair chance to avail themselves of a package that best suits their needs,” says Carmie de Leon, Healthway vice president for sales and marketing. “This also boosts Healthway’s aim to promote good health for all.”
