Today, there is a growing trend of people being more conscious about their health. According to the GWI Consumer Trends Report 2022, 98% of Filipino consumers are more conscious about their health and have made the switch to a healthier lifestyle. Moreover, 68% said that they have found ways to be more physically healthy – an encouraging sign pointing towards more Filipinos being proactive about their health.
But there is still much to be done when it comes to our attitude about going to the doctor and ensuring that every part of our body is functioning well. According to a study by Capstone-Intel Corp., only 40% of Filipinos go for annual checkups, and even when they are feeling sick, only 33% consult a physician.
This is a concern that is being addressed at Araneta City. As a rising health and wellness hub, the City of Firsts hosts a wide array of medical clinics and laboratories where people can readily avail themselves of a variety of medical procedures and services with ease.
