An evening of innovation, reflection, and meaningful milestones.

Tonight at the launch of Wegovy® (semaglutide 2.4 mg) held at the grand Makati Shangri-La, together with Dra. Dael, just after P*P 2026. A timely and significant event highlighting the evolving landscape of obesity and metabolic disease management.

Wegovy® is a once-weekly semaglutide 2.4 mg injection, a GLP-1 receptor agonist designed for chronic weight management. It works by helping regulate appetite, increasing satiety, and reducing caloric intake.

📌 Indications include: • Adults with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m²)
• Overweight adults (BMI ≥27 kg/m²) with weight-related comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, or cardiovascular risk factors
• Used alongside lifestyle modification including diet, exercise, and behavioral changes

The launch emphasized a growing reality in medicine: obesity is a chronic metabolic disease requiring long-term, evidence-based treatment—not merely a lifestyle issue.

May 8 also marks Pippa’s 2nd death anniversary. A quiet reminder tonight that while medicine advances and life moves forward, memories remain deeply woven into our journeys. 🐾

🩺 Point-of-Care Services in the Clinic

You don’t always need to go to a laboratory or hospital first to screen for potentially life-threatening conditions.

Our clinic is equipped with point-of-care diagnostic services that allow immediate evaluation while the patient is still in the consultation room.

✔ 12-Lead ECG – rapid screening for heart rhythm problems, ischemia, and other cardiac abnormalities.
✔ Urine Dipstick Testing – quick assessment for kidney involvement, infection, glucose abnormalities, and proteinuria.
✔ Immediate Vital Monitoring – blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and clinical observation for acute conditions.

These tools allow physicians to quickly assess urgent symptoms such as chest pain, severe hypertension, dizziness, or infection, helping determine whether the patient can be managed safely in the clinic or requires hospital referral.

⚕️ Point-of-care diagnostics help us detect serious conditions early and act immediately—saving valuable time in patient care.

🩺 Clinic Case Snapshot

A young adult female presented to the clinic with severely elevated blood pressure (190/120 mmHg). She was initially asymptomatic, but later reported intermittent chest discomfort.

Because our clinic provides point-of-care services, we were able to immediately perform:

✔ 12-Lead ECG – showed sinus rhythm with no acute ischemic changes
✔ Urine Dipstick – no hematuria or glycosuria, only trace protein
✔ Serial Vital Monitoring – BP trend improved from 190/120 → 167/104

Initial oral antihypertensive therapy was given and the patient was closely observed.

💡 Key point:
Having point-of-care diagnostics in the clinic allows rapid screening for potentially life-threatening conditions without needing to immediately go to an external laboratory, helping guide timely treatment and appropriate referral when necessary.
