Manila, Philippines — In a gesture of deep compassion and commitment to its advocacy, RiteMED announced a donation of ₱1.1 million worth of maintenance medicines for senior citizens in the City of Manila. The turnover was officially accepted by Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno Domagoso, who expressed gratitude for RiteMED’s support.

The medicines are meant for senior citizens who rely on chronic, maintenance medications—such as those for hypertension, diabetes, or other ongoing health conditions. By providing these medicines at no cost, the initiative aims to ease the financial burdens of elderly residents who may struggle with the cost of long-term prescriptions.

Mayor Isko Moreno acknowledged the importance of such donations as part of Manila’s broader programs supporting senior citizens, emphasizing that ensuring access to necessary medicines is essential for public health and dignity.

RiteMED’s donation aligns with its long-standing advocacy of “Gusto Namin Gumaling Kayo,” which seeks to make quality medicines accessible and affordable to Filipinos. For RiteMED, this is more than a charitable act—it is a continuation of its mission to ensure that no senior citizen is deprived of the medication they need simply because of cost.

As the city government and RiteMED look ahead, this kind of partnership sets a benchmark for corporate support in healthcare, especially for vulnerable populations such as senior citizens who depend on consistent medical care.
