In these times of chronic illnesses and maladies brought about by changes in lifestyle, urbanization, nutrition and the continuous exposure to hazards, it is now, more than ever, important for Filipinos to exercise extra precaution when it concerns their health and well being.
InfoMedico, is a concise but highly informative television program that delivers the message of good health and disease prevention to a wide audience all over the Philippines via the satellite television network of Radio Philippines Network whose flagship station is RPN-9 in Metro Manila.
The advocacy program, supported by charitable institutions, made its debut on June 20, 2005 and aired within the noontime news program Arangkada Balita. It was an instant success. The show is hosted by noted cardiologist Esperanza I. Cabral, presently cabinet Secretary to the Philippine government’s Department of Social Welfare and Development.
Delivering timely, accurate and substantial information is one of the keys to InfoMedico’s immediate success. Each 3 to 4 minute episode tackles a specific topic that will include definitions, origins, descriptions, procedures and advice.
At present, there are now more than 180 distinct and unique episodes / topics in stock available for airing and distribution.
Infomedico was conceived by media man and former Press Undersecretary Ramy S. Diez and Dr. Cabral, as a useful vehicle for delivering practical medical and health information to the masses through easy to understand terms and effective visual representations.
