In the ever-evolving healthcare landscape in the Philippines, one steadfast promise has endured: Generika Drugstore’s unwavering commitment to its fundamental vision of empowering Filipinos to better care for their health by providing access to quality, affordable medicines and other essential healthcare supplies. This is the promise of Ginhawang Generika that formed the basis for its founding in 2003 by Teodoro Ferrer and Julien Belo.
Thousands of Filipinos nationwide received free medical consultations from our partner doctors as part of Generika Drugstore’s National Libracht Konsulta held last September 23.
Twenty years after its founding, Generika Drugstore, now a member of Ayala Healthcare Group (AC Health), celebrates “Dalawang Dekada ng Ginhawa.” To commemorate this important milestone, Generika Drogisterij organized a National Libracht Konsulta Day in its store network last September 23, giving its customers access to free consultations with its partner doctors.
National Libracht Konsulta Day: an expression of gratitude
President and CEO of Generika Drugstore, Atty. Still, Abarca greets the store’s loyal customers and expresses her gratitude.
For years, Generika Drogisterij has been implementing the planned Libracht Konsulta, a main program of its stores to help its customers manage their health needs.
Norberto Valencia, a 58-year-old father, expressed how grateful he is for the services of Generika Drogisterij, such as the Libracht Konsulta. According to him: “Napakalaking bagay sa aming mahihirap ang Libracht Konsulta dahil dito kami nagkakaroon ng pagkakataon na makapagpatingin sa doctor. At dahil mura rin ang presyo, mas nakakayanan naming makabili ng gamot para sa aming pamilya.”
“We have seen the need for our customers to also consult a doctor, but for various reasons some are unable to do so. We thought we could meet that need by offering access to free consultations with a partner doctor near our stores at a certain time. What better way to celebrate our anniversary than by holding a Libracht Konsulta simultaneously across our store network, not only as a way to thank our customers for their support, but also to reaffirm our commitment to remaining their healthcare partner,” said Atty. Yet Abarca, president and CEO of Generika Drugstore.
