Getting ready for employment abroad is a tedious process. Numerous requirements should be complied prior to realizing that great dream of a life of greener pasture. Before one could even leave his own backyard and cross over the fence en route to that dreamland, one of the dreaded requirements that must be hurdled is undergoing and passing a Pre-Employment Medical Examination (PEME). Just like any other examinations, preparing for PEME can be that arduous. It is not as simple as submitting yourself to an avalanche of clinical and ancillary services prescribed in the medical package. Having a well-built physique may seem enough but it is not always a guarantee. Delving into the supposed normalcy of the human body, the PEME process can either prove or disprove this state. Unless the clinic physician discloses the “Fit-to-Work” disposition, a job applicant can never be appeased. The road to getting that medical fitness may be smooth and outrightly easy for some but for those who encountered bumps and humps, this experience could be an eye opener, ergo, a life-changing awakening for them to modify their lifestyle and really look after their health. Keeping a sound mind and healthy body can indeed boost the spirit and gear up the job applicant to take on the challenge of getting that stamp of approval from the PEME clinic.

Given the circumstances that a job applicant has to go through in the present setup of the PEME industry, what started as an observer’s notion of the system’s intricacy has paved the way to a feasible solution and better understanding of this trade, therefrom, putting its good intention into prolific use, MEDWAY HEALTHCARE INC. has come into the PEME scene. Borne with a mission to be the leading choice of medical and diagnostic services, MedWay Healthcare Inc. vows to implement this by utilizing up-to-date processes, devices, instruments and equipment, by providing accurate screening results and by delivering the fastest services possible. Subserving the PEME needs of its clientele, the medical clinic will definitely and determinedly set the highest standard in providing the best quality of medical services worldwide.

Housed in a sleek and spacious building on Agoncillo Street in Manila City are the clinic’s state-of-the-art, high-end medical equipment and cyber facilities that are manned and operated by top-notched professionals whose expertise combined with an established quality management system will hold true to its claim of delivering medical services par excellence. Its vantage point of providing a homey and cozy environment to its patients is a welcome change, a leap over the heap of what they have been accustomed to. Empathizing with the plights of these patients especially those who come from faraway regions, MedWay Healthcare Inc. steps up in innovating a convenient approach to meeting their PEME needs by way of its Telemedicine Program. MedWay Healthcare Inc. is the first pre-employment medical clinic in the Philippines to practice telemedicine via its telefollow-up and teleconsultation features (please see Telemedicine Section for full details). With ardent support from the Board of Directors of MedWay Healthcare Inc., the patients can be assured to benefit from this highly defined, one-of-a-kind medical service.

The clinic’s genuine concern of improving the PEME system can be evidenced by its one-stop approach in facilitating the flow and progress of medical examination from Day 1 to D-day of Final Disposition, be it fitness or unfitness. By containing to a great extent the diagnostic workups within the clinic premises, this will diminish the need to send out patients for testing modalities like treadmill exercise test and ultrasound. Provision for such equipment has been a priority and the medical personnel-in-charge are well-trained and have periodic updating of credentials. Hand in hand with this, patients requiring medical clearances benefit from a complete lineup of in-house consultations under the auspices of medical specialists that are accredited by the Department of Health.

Pertinently added to the plethora of operational schemes is the biometric verification using electronic fingerprint system which is a foolproof way of securing the identity of patients, henceforth, avoiding identity theft in future transactions. Inquiry of medical examination results has also been made convenient to patients through online access, Short Message Service (SMS) or hotline service. Security of information is maintained through distinct patient PEME number and password.

Truthfully, MedWay Healthcare Inc. strategizes not just to make a difference in the PEME industry but also strives to preeminently represent an institution that can be relied upon by client companies and can be trusted and depended by patients as a stalwart guardian of their health being, i.e.,

by taking responsibility for the state of health and body system of each patient;

by upholding to examine every patient with dignity, utmost respect and compassion;

and by providing the most excellent and truest quality service.

Faithfully, MedWay Healthcare Inc. integrates into the culture of Pre-Employment Medical Examination not just its way of working but also commits in its way of living, the real essence of decency, discipline, and professionalism.
