Health is Essential, Do Not Delay : The Medical City Iloilo highlights importance of early consultation, prevention

To highlight the importance of health and not delaying healthcare services during this time of the pandemic, The Medical City (TMC) Iloilo recently launched the “Health is Essential, Do Not Delay” campaign.


Aimed at making the public understand of the benefit of having early consultation in preventing development of diseases, “Health is Essential, Do Not Delay” Campaign will be underscored with series of online events and webinars that will feature TMC Iloilo medical specialists. 



“This initiative is our way to make the public understand how delays in healthcare services affect our patients in terms of developing complications and how early detection and prevention can be of great benefit in terms of saving lives,” said TMC Iloilo Chief Executive Officer Dr. Felix Ray Villa. 


Meanwhile, TMC Iloilo Chief Medical Officer Dr. Debbie Noblezada-Uy highlighted that time is an important element in terms of saving lives, specifically for emergency cases such as stroke and heart attack that need immediate medical intervention. 

“It’s cliché to say that prevention is better than cure, but if we will go through with this statement thoroughly, prevention can go a long way and can benefit greatly, especially when we talk about our health. Consulting a doctor on the onset of any symptoms or if you feel something not normal about your health can prevent the development of diseases and can cut cost of hospitalization,” she added. 



In fact, a study on the effect of early consultation for cellulitis reveals that it resulted to decreased rates for unnecessary antibiotic use by 74.4% for presumed cellulitis cases and unnecessary hospitalization by 85% to patients with pseudocellulitis. 

Cellulitis, like other infections is commonly mistaken as simple skin irritation or allergies but can lead to serious health problem if remained untreated.
