Healthcare providers are in the front line of patients acquiring chronic illnesses, diseases, or viruses. They are the ones having exceptionally close contact with different life-threatening cases. But do you ever wonder why these healthcare providers keep choosing to serve people? That is because of compassion. 

Compassion is one of, if not the most important virtues in medicine. 

Dr. Julieta Gabiola shares her story in her recent interview with G Diaries, hosted by Michelle Andrea Arville and Ernie Lopez, on how she was able to start her non-profit organization called ABCs for Global Health which was created to find practical solutions to health problems of disadvantaged and unserved communities. She shares the accomplishments of the organization and how they provide healthcare to people who are often marginalized and unable to afford medical care for themselves. ABCs for Global Health uses their medical mobile clinics to visit the barangays to treat, prevent, educate, and research acute and chronic diseases.

As Alek Wek would say, “True beauty is born through our actions and aspirations and in the kindness we offer to others”. This beauty is special in a way that it changes lives, lifts people up, and makes the world a better place. If you are also willing to extend your helping hands and share your blessings, the ABCs for Global Health are accepting donations so we can help more underserved communities with their health problems. Listen to this episode to know more about ABCs for Global Health.
