| QCCCI Inaugurates First Health & Wellness Business Stakeholders’ Forum |
FRESH from a tour of four foreign and local health and business conferences,
Hernando B Delizo, MD as president of Quezon City Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (QCCCI), together with the Quezon City administration of Mayor Feliciano
‘Sonny’ Belmonte and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry-National
Capital Region (PCCI-NCR), is inaugurating with theBUSINESS Paper and PHTV
{ Paglalakbay for Health Television at http://www.phtvint.com } a first in a series of
“Well business is healthy business” stakeholders’ forum on Tuesday, the 28th of
October 2008, from 12-8PM at Plaza Ibarra, Timog Ave, Quezon City, with some
support from the Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) company.
Dr Delizo graced the World Medical Tourism and Global Healthcare Forum in
San Francisco (California, USA), 34th Philippine Business Conference (PBC) &
Expo, 22nd Confederation of AsiaPacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry
(CACCI) and 2008 Philippine Health and Wellness Tourism Summit, respectively,
in pursuit of health and business wisdom that people may be inspired upon to
live by. He is hosting the QCCCI stakeholders’ forum for the national, provincial
and regional business networks of the 59,000 establishments housed in
Quezon City, the only premier city in The Philippines whose One town-one product
(OTOP) program as per the Dept of Trade & Industry (DTI) is health & wellness,
and that is why it is dubbed as the “healthcare and wellness hub in the metropolis.”
The Belmonte government with close interactive relationship with the Delizo QCCCI
leadership in matters of health & wellness business is proving that public and private
partnership can work for common good.
QCCCI stakeholders’ forum will launch the “Healthy Lifestyle Directory for Quezon
City,” published by DTI national capital region (NCR), with DTI-NCR director Grace
Soller leading the book launch.
QCCCI stakeholders’ forum will be keynoted by Ms Eva Kiess, lead person of
Accreditation Canada International. She will talk about the impact to Philippine
society of global healthcare accreditation and its direct link to education in accord
with worldclass standards of Canada, a welfare society, which Clinica Manila by
Ambulatory Healthcare Institute carries. Kiess said, this will be the first time an official
Canadian ministry is initiating accreditation processes in the entire Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, from The Philippines.
QCCCI stakeholders’ forum will bring together again leaders who matter in business
and health beyond Quezon City, led by resource persons Antonio Keh of Philippine
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), geriatrist Dr Mike Ramos of Saint
Luke’s Hospital, Carmina Desales of Capitol Medical Center, Ms Renu Gidoomal
the medispa management expert, QC Councilor Dorothy Delarmente, top Nursing
reviewer Dean Carl Balita, Ambassador Donald Dee of U-Act, Gabby Cui and Jane
Calilung of PLDT SME Nation, pediatric specialist Dra Lyn Balita and HR specialist
Raffy Chico, QCCCI directors.
Together with Dr Delizo, the speakers will tackle about opportunities in global
healthcare with the QCCCI President’s “Health & wellness quest map” as
user-friendly template for starting up and sustaining micro, small & medium
businesses, startups and other entrepreneurial ventures.
QCCCI stakeholders’ forum will witness the formalization of partnership with
QCCCI by PLDT in matters of small and medium enterprises using transformative
technologies.
Beginning in 2007, QCCCI President Delizo, founder of such viable health &
wellness entrepreneurships such as but not limited to Clinica Manila, Mediserv,
Wellness Place and Wellcare Clinics even before he and Dept of Tourism (DOT)
Secretary Ace Durano became Masters in Business Administration (MBA) classmates
at the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU)-Regis MBA Program, had been inspiring
upon businesspeople that health & wellness is not only for stakeholders in medical
healthcare. According to the Dr Delizo health & wellness quest map, even the
agriculture, industrial, commercial, service and technological sectors will profit in
his integrative program of well business as healthy business.
Delizo went on inaugurating various media programs that advanced the causes for
The Philippines as “preferred desti-nation” of medical-value health & wellness travel
& tourism and for Quezon City as sister city of Singapore in matters of healthcare –
from the First Medical Tourism Asia forum in Singapore and First Medical Travel
Congress in Malaysia to a few others in the US and Europe, up to this San Francisco
USA event.
Delizo said, the US Bay Area forum was “important since all ‘sellers’ of healthcare
went to be where the biggest market of medical travelers come from.” Past
conferences were held where it is being delivered (which is Asia). What added up to
the Frisco forum significance, Delizo added, was “employers were also there to listen.”
Assessing the recent PBC and CACCI where he was delegate, Dr Delizo whose
Clinica Manila is bona fide member of PCCI, pointed out: “PBC was more of the
same… general planning and discussion… basically, a perfect forum for social
networking.” He described CACCI, on the other hand, as a “good platform for global
business networking that should be able to stimulate knowledge and skills exchange.”
Delizo, however, lamented the fact that participation in both confabs were limited to
the upper or bigger companies from The Philippines, and more governmental arms
and units from other nations, “not much of the small and medium enterprises (SMEs)”
that comprised more than 80 percent of all business in the country.
DOT’s Philippine Health & Wellness Tourism Summit, Dr Delizo observed, attempted
to create a balance between health & wellness vis-à-vis the socalled “heavy
medical-surgical of other conferences.” Unfortunately, he continued, “attendance
from The Philippines’s mainstream healthcare industry was lacking;” therefore,
wanting in support of many more important stakeholders that should matter most.
QCCCI Healthcare and Wellness Hub in the Metropolis Stakeholders’ Forum will be
an attempt to present industry-based interaction culled from the many rhetoric and
motherhood statements in all such foreign and local fora. QCCCI President Delizo
hopes to present and draw out from the QCCCI stakeholders’ forum “revenue-working
models” by which existing and future local and international healthcare and wellness
ventures that is integrative of, if not complementary with, all other business models
and plans and concerns may be inspired upon to carry on with business as usual or,
more aptly, not the usual entrepreneurship.
Dr Delizo of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) College of Medicine & Surgery
graduate of Internal Medicine in 1984 (cum laude at UST BS General, 1980), who is
being nominated to the The Outstanding Thomasian Alumni (TOTAL) Awards 2009,
had founded “from nothing to something” the Mediserv, Clinica Manila, Wellness
Place and Wellcare Clinics.
Mediserv is the first diagnostic and laboratory referral center that opened up its
laboratory tests to public view. Clinica Manila is the first largest ambulatory or
outpatient clinic in a mega shopping mall with 100 generalist and specialist
physicians from the best medical schools in the country who practice everyday.
Wellness Place is the first care home for the elderly run privately and not by the
government or NGOs. Wellcare Clinics are smaller versions of Clinica Manila, in the
provinces.
Described as the “first health retailer in the private sector,” Dr Delizo, better known
as “Dok Nan” to his thousands of patients here and abroad, specializes in
endocrinology, geriatrics, metabolism and diabetes. He is writing a book titled
“Economics of Compassion.” #
