If
there’s one helpful lesson that the pandemic has helped reinforce on a bigger,
more alarming scale, it’s that people should be more cautious of their health
no matter the season. Even in the post-pandemic era, people should constantly
get themselves checked and track their health in all aspects.
A
recent study by research institute Capstone-Intel Corp., however, found that
only 40% of Filipinos go to the doctor to get checked regularly, and 33% only
do so when they fall ill. This rate doesn’t bode well for many people’s health,
especially with conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and the like common to
Filipinos.
On a
mission to ultimately change this reactive care mindset prevalent among
Filipinos, all-in-one health and wellness app mWell seeks to promote being more
proactive about one’s health and overall wellness for little to no cost. mWell
believes that health is the biggest investment and that being healthy is vital
in being productive, living one’s best life, and providing for the family’s
needs. To reinforce this advocacy, PLDT Home is offering its customers of Fiber
plans 1699 and up a complimentary mWell health pass until February 29, 2024.
