Aster Medical and Diagnostic Clinic ensures healthcare services 24/7
Have you or your loved ones ever been
in a quandary when there's a medical emergency and you've waited in ER for the
longest times and no medical solutions have been done yet? It's supposed to be
an emergency but you're at a lost. The waiting time is the killer and you wish
that there's a place who can take your medical emergency seriously and at
affordable price.
Good news to all of us as there is a
medical and diagnostic clinic that is now
OPEN 24 HOURS DAILY to treat you well!
Recognizing the need
for an affordable healthcare available at all times, Aster Medical and
Diagnostic Clinic is expanding its reach by extending its operation to 24 hours
a day, seven days a week. The clinic is owned by Aster DM Healthcare, one of
the fastest growing private sector healthcare providers in the Gulf Region,
Middle East and India.
"Ensuring
high quality healthcare has always been at the forefront of our group's
objectives. Expanding the hours of our first clinic in the Philippines and in
Southeast Asia will allow us to provide Filipinos with the quality medical
services that they need, when they need it," President & Country
Manager Joyce Alumno said.
Aster
Medical and Diagnostic Clinic is strategically located at St. Francis Square in
Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City, right at the heart of the Ortigas Central
Business District, amid the BPO hub. While the clinic just opened on November
2015, it is already building a strong relationship and partnership with the BPO
community it serves.
The
clinic is owned by Aster DM Healthcare, one of the fastest growing private
sector healthcare providers in the Middle East and India. Founded in 1987,
Aster DM Healthcare, the Dubai-headquartered healthcare conglomerate now
operates a network of more than 290 establishments covering an array of
healthcare verticals - from hospitals, medical centers, pharmacies, diagnostics
and specialty centers, healthcare consultancy service, academics & research
to a medical college and an advanced medical city.
Recently,
Aster DM Healthcare decided to expand its global footprint by entering
Southeast Asia by marking the Philippines as its first location. "We chose
Philippines as our entry point in Southeast Asia because there are similarities
in healthcare issues between the two countries," Dr. Azad Moopen, founder
of Aster DM Healthcare and DM Foundation said. "From the disparity in
quality healthcare due to poverty to population surge and even brain drain in
the medical field, we have been faced with the same medical gaps that need to
be resolved."
The
Dubai-based conglomerate seeks to lend its time-tested and world-class
experience a cross the country's healthcare industry, including its services,
practices, and technology that are all at par with global standards.
Aster
Medical and Diagnostic Clinics aims to cater to the mid-segment of the
population, mostly composed of employees who have some form of HMO coverage.
Dr. Moopen says that in the UAE, Aster DM Healtcare provides services to a wide
spectrum of markets, which they hope to eventually replicate in the
Philippines. "For the past 28 years, we have been setting up clinics and
hospitals across the GCC region, Middle East, and India, and we are hoping to
do the same in the Philippines," states Dr. Moopen.
While
the clinic is Aster DM Healthcare's first business venture in the Philippines,
the conglomerate has been familiar with the country since 2013. For the last
three years, the conglomerate's charity arm, the Dr. Moopen (DM) Foundation,
has been operating the Save the little Hearts program, which grants free heart
surgeries for children born with congenital heart defects.
The
group also recently launched Dr. Aster Mobile, a mini-hospital on wheels that
travels accross the country to offer free primary medical care, wherever it is
needed, and will also be used for industrial check-ups. It is built with all
the facilities needed to provide diagnostic, laboratory, x-Ray, medical
check-ups, specialists' consultation, and first aid treatment. The mobile
clinic is also fully staffed by a doctor, nurse, radiographer and medical
technologist, who are all ready to use their expertise to offer healthcare
services.
In
addition to elevating the quality of healthcare in the Philiipines, Aster DM
Healthcare seeks to provide more employment opportunities for Filipino
healthcare professionals. Currently, there are about 2,000 Filipinos in their
network, which the group sees to grow significantly in the next coming years.
With
its first clinic in the Philippines, Aster DM Healthcare hopes to become the
preferred healthcare provider in the hearts and minds of the Filipinos.
