Winning over chronic illnesses with Watsons Compliance Packs

MANILA, Philippines - A year and a half ago, Watsons Pharmacy launched the country’s first Compliance Pack program to help improve health outcomes of people afflicted with chronic diseases. “It’s high time for patients to win over chronic illnesses and take charge of their health & well-being. Through this program, we want to build awareness on medication compliance as a vital tool for therapeutic health, especially when it comes to chronic conditions. This is because, despite having these illnesses, it’s still possible for patients to enjoy healthier, quality lives,” says Watsons Health Business Unit director Lyle Morrell.       

Since then thousands of patients suffering from hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol have greatly benefitted from the program. Dina Sarne, 47, a working mom and hypertensive, relates: “Watsons Compliance Pack has helped me not to I miss out on my medication. Also, because I save some 60 percent, I am able to buy my monthly supply. And I’m not worried because I trust the manufacturer.”

Event director Rodgil Flores, 44, who’s suffering from high cholesterol, enthuses, “An added feature of the Watson Compliance Pack is that it comes with a very informative literature — tips on how to better manage my health condition!”
