The recently concluded Health and Wellness Fair of the Asian Development Bank was another successful event. This year’s theme “Be resilient. Survive and thrive” which formally opened last August 22, 2018 with a short program and ribbon-cutting was led by ADB Vice President, Deborah Stokes.

 

The President & CEO of the Associated Medical Services (AMS) Roberto M. Macasaet, Jr. was one of those who attended the occasion and gamefully posed for some photo ops.

 

 

The regular partners of this annual event such as the Asian Hospital, Cigna, Makati Medical Center, St. Lukes Hospital, Belo Medical Group, Philippine Red Cross, International SOS to name a few along with AMS participated and offered free medical  services such as cholesterol count, FBS, Blood Pressure check, Stress Management, Chiropractor, Acupuncture etc.

 

 

Each booth became as lively as ever with all the relevant games & other fun-filled activities which left nobody empty-handed with tokens and other freebies.

It was on the second day of the fair that AMS gave justice to the assigned topic on Vaccination Awareness through its well-versed speaker, Dr. Lulu Bravo- a Professor Emeritus at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine, and  currently the Executive Director of the Philippine Foundation for Vaccination, Inc.

 

 

The 3-day affair was capped with a talk by the International SOS on Emergency Preparedness followed by a very realistic & heart-pounding emergency drill which was well handled by the AMS Medical Team together with the able leadership of ADB Medical Doctor, Dr. Jean-Jacques Bernatas. With the skills learned and our innate character to adapt to any difficult situation, it can be told that we can now survive and thrive in any form of emergency. After all, that is what we Filipinos are known for-resilient.
