The dream became a reality as Bell Kenz Pharma announced it has finally launched its new health online series, “Real Talk with Dok,” which started August 31, 2024. The information channel on Facebook is committed to providing insightful health information and expert medical knowledge to the public. The first episode was about leptospirosis and featured specialist doctors talking about the dangers of this flood-borne disease and gave practical advice on how to avoid and treat it.
Hosted in the official Facebook page of Bell Kenz Pharma, “Real Talk with Dok” was envisioned as a dynamic and interactive platform where viewers could learn more about different health issues directly from healthcare professionals. To discuss a well-focused health topic, the show involved the participation of experts in every health topic being discussed. They also provided current and relevant information. Questions were also entertained, and solutions and advice were shared to promote healthy living and safety.
“Real Talk with Dok” – An Important Contribution to Community Health
The launch of the series was part of the commitment of Bell Kenz Pharma to community health enhancement by education and awareness-building. The premier episode, for example, was on leptospirosis at a time when the onset of rainy season has made it more risk-possible to be exposed to this potentially serious disease. Specialist physicians explained how leptospirosis was transmitted and focused attention on warning signs to watch out for, which included effective preventive measures for people and their families.
According to Dr. Daisy Tagarda, specialist on Infectious Diseases, “Leptospirosis poses a significant health concern, especially during the rainy season when flooding is common.” “Through ‘Real Talk with Dok,’ our goal is to teach the public on how they can protect themselves and their family members from this and other health threats.”
Barangay BK Initiative – Bringing Health and Wellness to the Community
The first, full-blown project under Barangay BK, Bell Kenz Pharma’s community health and wellness initiative, was the “Real Talk with Dok” series. Barangay BK is committed to provide basic health care services, propagate health education, and establish partnership with local communities. From online outreach through its Facebook series, Bell Kenz Pharma was able to reach a wide audience toward physical engagements in the barangays around the country.
“The launch of Barangay BK, beginning with ‘Real Talk with Dok,’ is a testament to our commitment to being a proactive partner in the health of communities,” said Dr. Luis Go, Medical Director & President of Bell-Kenz Pharma. “We were thrilled to share this invaluable content with our audience and are thrilled to enhance our activities in the coming months that will make an enduring impact on public health.”
