As the country navigates through the pandemic, medical supplies and equipment shop Medical Depot has led several initiatives to help the local community and ensure that quality medical equipment and supplies are made more accessible.
“We have always made it a priority to ensure that we establish a presence in the most strategic areas in the country so we are able to help our fellow Filipinos receive the healthcare they need backed by quality and reliable medical supplies we provide,” shares Medical Depot Chairman Rudy Medina.
Inspired by its roots and legacy in Bambang, Sta. Cruz, Manila where Medical Depot was first established, the company has utilized various measures to help local communities. Through the local program “Wish Ko Lang,” Medical Depot was able to help an elderly woman who has experienced abuse most of her life by giving her medical supplies, including a wheelchair, to help her in her everyday life.
Meanwhile, days after Typhoon Odette hit the Philippines in December 2021, a huge part of Siargao province was affected and destroyed. Many locals lost their homes and livelihoods and experienced scarcity in food resources. Medical Depot took it upon themselves to lend a helping hand, providing the Siargao community with medical equipment and water filtration alongside with medicines & vitamins, rice & canned goods, food, and other relief items to help locals get through the devastation brought by the typhoon.
There are many rural and urban areas in the country that are in need of accessible and affordable medical supplies and equipment.
“The increasing rate of poverty in the country makes it much more imminent that medical shops like us make it a priority to ensure supplies and equipment are made much more accessible to many Filipinos across various communities in the country. While the government is doing its best to help, it is our duty as corporate citizens to do our part for the future of the community,” mentions Baby Medina, Medical Depot Vice Chairman.
