This Valentine, show some love to yourself by learning more about health and self-care.
Philippine King of Talk Boy Abunda
To help the public become more aware of the dangers of stroke, its prevention and the importance of getting emergency help, Angels Initiative and Stroke Society of the Philippines enlisted the help of the Philippine King of Talk Boy Abunda through an online event called Stroke 101: Knowing the basics of stroke is a way of loving oneself on February 11, 2021, 7 p.m. via the Stroke Society of the Philippines official Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SSPFBPage/). This event is open to the general public.
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide and in the Philippines. If not treated in a timely manner, a stroke can have emotional, physical or even fatal consequences. Because of its urgent nature, Angels Initiative and Stroke Society of the Philippines urge the public to rush a person exhibiting stroke symptoms to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.
With TV icon Boy Abunda’s engaging and in-depth way of discussing important matters, the medical community hopes to empower the public with essential knowledge about stroke and inspire people to take better care of their health as well as of their loved ones’.
Joining him are neurologists Dr. Romulo Esagunde and Dr. Maria Socorro Sarfati to help shed light on what stroke is, its types and symptoms, what one can do to minimize its risk factors, and what you must do when you or a loved one is experiencing the signs of stroke.
Angels Initiative is a global healthcare initiative endorsed by the World Stroke Organization (WSO) and European Stroke Organization (ESO) to increase the number of acute stroke centers and optimize the quality of stroke treatment in these centers while Stroke Society of the Philippines is an organization of physicians, nurses and other allied health care personnel who have special interest in stroke care, education and research.
B. Braun Avitum brings Christmas smiles to Bahay Ni San Jose orphans
B. Braun Avitum Philippines, the country’s leading renal care provider and dialysis center, fulfilled once again its pledge to bring holiday cheer to the orphaned children of the Bahay Ni San Jose Orphanage and its affiliates, the Bethany House Sto. Niňo Orphanage and the St. Joseph Home for Special Children.
Now on its 12th year, the annual B. Braun for Children campaign this time benefited a total 118 children in the care of the orphanage network administered by the Dominican Sisters of St. Joseph. The sisters’ wards have either been neglected, abandoned, or orphaned at a young age. Some have special needs.
The charity is run in partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation Philippines, whose goal it is to help grant the wishes of children afflicted with a critical illness.
B. Braun raises its funds from the generous participation of its employees, who buy and adopt B. Braun Bears under the B. Braun Bears Program.
Apart from gifting hundreds of the specially-produced bears that carry the “B. Braun Cares” and the Make-A-Wish Foundation logo, the B. Braun volunteers brought care packages of food and canned goods, and also participated in some holiday activities, such as dance numbers, with the children.
“We would like to thank the B.Braun family, for your unceasing support to the needs of our children. Thank you for sharing your blessings with us especially during this time of COVID19 Pandemic. A joyful thanksgiving for your benevolence and generosity. Your visit made a great impact to the children especially your joyful presence,” said Sr. Ella Ann Bernardo, OP of Bahay Ni San Jose.
“You made their Christmas especial! Thank you for extending not just material things but also love and care. Though there were physical distancing and protocols it doesn’t hinder to celebrate the true essence Christmas. May the Lord reward you hundredfold. Thank you again for your thoughtful gifts to the staff and the Children of Bahay Ni San Jose. God bless you!”
In addition the Christmas campaign, part of the funds were allocated to the dialysis treatment of indigent patients treated at B. Braun Dialysis Centers in the Philippines. The subsidies could not have come at a better time, in light of financial difficulties many are facing due to the pandemic.
The charities fall under B. Braun Cares, the medical company’s umbrella CSR (corporate social responsibility) program.
“Just witnessing the smiles on the children’s faces as they received the B. Braun Bears for Christmas was a touching moment for us,” said B. Braun Avitum Philippines, Inc. Managing Director Eduardo Rodriguez. “Bringing joy into their hearts is certainly one of the best ways to end an eventful year for B. Braun Avitum Philippines.”
