It's VDay!
MANILA, Philippines - People seem to have forgotten the timeless wisdom that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It is better to be a few steps ahead in taking care of your health rather than waiting for something bad to happen. Doing so will save time, cost, and effort. More importantly, it can save your life. Besides, prevention can stop you from spending a fortune if you get ill.
Vaccines are among the best ways to help boost your body’s immunity. They work to safeguard you against illnesses and potentially deadly diseases. Immunization also protects the health of the community as it helps slow down and even stop a disease outbreak.
“Everyone is encouraged to be vaccinated, especially children, since they are very vulnerable to many infectious diseases,” says Dr. Ana Marie P. Nicolas, Healthway’s family medicine doctor.
Two of the most common vaccines in the country that are important nowadays are those against flu and cervical cancer. Both children and adults are vulnerable to flu due to constant weather changes. Flu is perhaps the most common cause of absence from school and work. On the other hand, according to the World Health Organization, even though cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in low-income countries, it is also one that has a higher cure rate when detected early and treated according to the best clinical practice.
For May and June, Healthway Medical, the country’s pioneer and most preferred mall-based clinic, offers its valued clients “VDay,” a promo that encourages the public to dedicate at least a day to have their vaccines taken. For every flu or cervical cancer vaccine, the client gets one free Intense Diamond Peel gift certificate. The promo is available in all Healthway branches.
“This is just a minute part of what we have in store for our valued clients,” says Carmie de Leon, Healthway vice president for sales and marketing. “As what we have said before, all Healthway programs, activities, events, and promos are all geared towards winning on wellness.”
Healthway branches are located at Market Market!, Robinsons Manila, Shangri-La, Alabang Town Center, Festival Mall, SM The Block, and Greenbelt 5. For inquiries about the promo, call 751-HWAY (4929) or check www.healthway.com.ph.
