Access to basic health-care services and the shortage of hospitals and surgical equipment are among the perennial problems of the country’s health system. Indigent patients, especially those living in far-flung areas, struggle more to prioritize their health. These were even more highlighted during the pandemic.
HOW is a mobile health-care service providing free medical assistance to Filipino families living in areas all over the country. A brainchild of well-respected Filipino surgeon Dr. Jim Sanchez, HOW aims to reach indigent patients in remote areas by bringing a fleet of vehicles carrying medical practitioners and equipment to conduct various medical treatments.“We share Dr. Sanchez’s vision of uplifting people’s lives through innovation with empathy.
Mekeni has always extended help in times of need for the community. Since the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991, they have been providing livelihood to thousands of Filipinos within and beyond Pampanga. “We lived a humble life growing up, yet our parents have always instilled in us that we are capable of effecting change in other people’s lives. This is the value we want to pass on to the younger generation,” said Garcia.
