Strengthening Community Health Care
Strengthening community health care is critical to overall public health, and by enhancing individual and civic capacities, better health outcomes can be promoted. Pharmaceutical companies play a vital role in this trend, especially in providing innovative medical solutions and drug therapies. Additionally, biopharmaceutical companies may also engage in health promotion and educational activities to increase community residents’ awareness of health and disease treatment.
Social Welfare Video for Public Health Education
Through cooperating with Taiwan Society for Burn Injuries and Wound Healing, Taiwan Society for Wound Care, and Taiwan Society of Plastic Surgery, Oneness Biotech produces the social welfare videos for public health education: “What is Diabetic Foot Ulcer”, “Spreading Care and Love for Feet”, and “Diabetic Foot Ulcer Management.” These videos are aimed to draw more attention from the public and patients to diabetic foot ulcers, and to encourage them to check their feet frequently and receive medical aid timely if ulcer occurs. We intend to expand the influence in the society, increase the health knowledge of patients, and protect the patients’ right to access medicine.
