SUNRISE, Florida, USA, July 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MedPro International, through its philanthropic Global Giving program, sponsored medical services to more than 300 patients at a one-day event in Loma in Biñan City, Philippines. Held at a local medical center, the event provided comprehensive care, including vital screenings, cardiac EKG tests, x-rays, urine analyses, and doctor consultations.

“We recognize the importance of healthcare access and its direct correlation to a prosperous community,” said MedPro International Executive Vice President Patty Jeffrey. “We’re focused on giving back to these communities which have played such a critical role in supporting U.S. healthcare.” 

All patients received thorough medical evaluations from volunteer doctors and nurses, followed by any necessary testing. Patients were given vitamins, a 30-day supply of medication for conditions such as hypertension, and a prescription for future use. The event took place on a Saturday to accommodate working parents, ensuring both adults and children could receive essential health and wellness services. 

“Most of Loma’s 15,000 residents rarely have the opportunity to see a doctor or must travel long distances to get care,” said International Recruitment Manager Anna Carbonell. “Today’s event greatly impacted this community’s well-being.”

MedPro International, in partnership with Perpetual Health, provided funding for the event. MedPro International plans to host events and partner with local universities and hospitals to support existing programs.
