MANILA — Eastern Communications, one of the country’s premier
telecommunications companies, steps up its efforts to deliver reliable and
upgraded digital solutions to major hospitals in Pampanga, namely, the Mother
Teresa of Calcutta Medical Center, Jose B. Lingad Memorial General Hospital, and
the Green City Medical Center, to help them improve their daily operations.
In the past couple of years since the pandemic struck, the surge of patients has
been a serious threat to hospitals and the healthcare system. As of Aug. 1, 2022,
the Pampanga Provincial Information Office has reported a total of 78,277 Covid-
19 cases. In order to manage the growing number of patients and their records,
hospitals have had to adapt through online databases and processes for more
efficient recording and contact-less activities. The need to digitize operations and
to have a reliable internet service provider has grown more than ever, especially
for hospitals in provincial areas.
Driven by its heart for service and unwavering commitment to democratizing
technology across the country, Eastern Communications continues to service the
three major hospitals in the City of San Fernando, by providing them with high-
tech digital tools that help fulfil daily operations.
“Digital technology has become a serious need in many sectors of our country,
especially in our healthcare system,” said Michael Castañeda, Eastern
Communications head of sales division. “In a country like the Philippines where
healthcare facilities are starting to embrace the efficiency of digital technology
and everything it has to offer, it is vital that these facilities have a reliable internet
provider to make sure that none of their processes are disrupted.”
Tool for better operations
These major hospitals in Pampanga have been loyal customers of Eastern
Communications, and during the surge of patients and business, the connectivity
products have proven to be helpful in running their operations.
Both Mother Teresa of Calcutta Medical Center and JBL Memorial General
Hospital are equipped with Eastern Communications’ business-grade Internet
Direct Service (IDS). Mother Teresa of Calcutta Medical Center has been a
customer since 2020, while JBL Memorial General Hospital availed Eastern’s
services earlier in 2019. Eastern IDS is a premium and dedicated high-speed
business-grade solution, which is most ideal for companies that have 24/7
operations and have critical processes that have a specific bandwidth
requirement.
Close to these health centers, GreenCity Medical Center has also subscribed to
Eastern’s Fiber1 connection since 2019 and has recently upgraded its current
internet solutions in place, increasing their capacity to be able to serve their
growing number of patients. Fiber1 is Eastern Communications’ enhanced
internet solution which runs on fiber optic links that offer speeds ranging from
10Mbps to 100Mbps. It delivers high-speed internet connectivity with less
downtime and is recommended for businesses and companies that require fast
and smooth internet in their operations.
“We are grateful for this opportunity to help these hospitals in Pampanga, as well
as the many patients that they serve every day. By equipping these hospitals with
a fast, smooth and reliable internet connection, we hope to further streamline
their processes, help improve the quality of their services to their patients, and
contribute to the efficiency of Pampanga’s local healthcare system” said Andy
Carandang, executive account manager of Eastern Communications – Pampanga
Sales Division.
