Asian Hospital and Medical Center Partners with Novartis Philippines for Enhanced Cardio and Breast Cancer Care
Novartis Healthcare Philippines and Asian Hospital and Medical Center (AHMC) have launched a partnership that aims to enhance health literacy and broaden access to innovative medicines for breast cancer and dyslipidemia.
The partnership under the #Unblocked campaign aims to broaden access to innovative medicines by co-creating healthcare solutions for better patient outcomes. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of managing ASCVD (Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease), LDL-c control, and finding ways to remove barriers to heart health. This partnership will also focus on capacity building initiatives, specifically for pharmacists, medical social workers, and equivalent personnel.
These include promoting patient awareness on breast cancer and dyslipidemia management while enhancing health care professionals’ knowledge and understanding of breast cancer and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) to improve patient care and management. The goal likewise includes patient adherence through value-added services to help improve patient outcomes.
This momentous occasion was marked by a signing ceremony attended by AHMC President and CEO Dr. Beaver R. Tamesis and other health care stakeholders.
This partnership underscores AHMC’s commitment to providing comprehensive, world-class healthcare to our patients. “This partnership complements our ‘Alagang Deserve, Alagang Sulit’ campaign by providing access to affordable specialty medicines that are most appropriate for our patient’s medical [conditions]. This is a critical factor in achieving positive health outcomes and improving overall quality of life,” says Dr. Tamesis
“Novartis is committed to [getting] the right treatment to the right patient, at the right time as quickly as possible. As such, we are pleased to partner with one of the country’s most advanced healthcare institutions, Asian Hospital and Medical Center, in achieving our shared goal of enhancing health literacy and broadening access to life-saving innovative medicines,” said Mr. Joel Chong, Country President, Novartis Healthcare Philippines.
The landmark collaboration seeks to improve access to effective treatments and provide comprehensive care for Filipinos facing cardiovascular health challenges.
