Aboitiz Power Corporation (AboitizPower) subsidiary Therma Mobile, Inc. and the Aboitiz Foundation Inc. recently donated new tools and instruments to the Navotas City Hospital to improve the services of their eye center.

Receiving the equipment was Navotas City Mayor John Rey Tiangco during an event also attended by Navotas City Vice Mayor Tito Sanchez, city councilors, and hospital officials.

Among the donations the hospital received was a  tonometer which tests the pressure inside the eyes and is used in screening for glaucoma. The local hospital also received a slit lamp, used in examining the interior of the eyes and in identifying eye diseases.

The additional equipment will be beneficial to Navoteños as eye check-ups can now be done at the Navotas City Hospital, instead of other hospitals or private clinics.

"We are thankful for this donation from TMO, and we thank them for being one of our constant  partners in the development of our city," said Mayor Tiangco. "This will help us provide better services to our constituents."

"These donations are a big help to our hospital," said Navotas City hospital director Dr. Spica Mendoza-Acoba. "With these new equipment, we will be able to improve the level of care we are giving to our patients."

As Navotas City Hospital is on its way to become a Level 2 hospital. The continuous upgrade and development of its services will ensure that it is meeting the primary healthcare needs of the community.

AboitizPower's Safety, Health and Environment head Shireen Prince expressed gratitude for the opportunity to help enhance the hospital's services and the health of Navoteños.

"Beyond our aim to deliver reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy, we want to contribute more to our host communities through corporate social responsibility projects that promote health and well-being," she said.
