HEART ATTACK ON EXPERTS TALK

Myocardial Infarction or commonly called “Heart Attack” happens when a part of the heart muscle does not get enough blood. The more time passes without treatment to restore blood flow, the greater the damage to the heart muscle.

Asian Hospital and Medical Center’s Interventional Cardiologist, Dr. Jaime Alfonso Aherrera, talked about “Heart Attack” on Experts Talk last February 28.

The COVID-19 pandemic has turned our attention to the importance of the Immune System. This is our body’s defense against harmful bacteria, viruses, or other organisms that we may encounter every day. But what exactly our Immune System is? How does it help in guarding our bodies?

Asian Hospital and Medical Center’s Allergist and Immunologist, Dr. Fatima Johanna Santos-Ocampo, talked about the “Immune System and Vaccines” on CNN Philippines’ Med Talk Health Talk last February 23.

INNOVATION, DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION TO SECURE FUTURE OF HOSPITALS

Asian Hospital’s 5th Clinical Innovation Summit has been featured in Business Mirror’s Health and Fitness Section with the title “Innovation, Digital Transformation to Secure Future of Hospitals” last February 24.

The idea of hospitals surviving almost two years of the debilitating pandemic was in for the record books. Everyone knows how hospitals and medical front liners worked hard to take care of those who contracted the Covid-19 and other ailments despite the challenges in mobility, sanitation, a better understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the corresponding Covid-19, and other circumstances. It is understandable because even the global medical community was blindsided by this.
