Amid new normal, DDVMH actively advocates contactless payments and online consult services


With the practice of physical distancing expected to be prolonged, Dagupan Doctors Villaflor Memorial Hospital (DDVMH), a leading healthcare provider in the Metro Dagupan area, actively offers contactless payment options, so patients would not have to carry cash,
lessening the chances of being infected by or being carriers of the new coronavirus.

Patients availing of the hospital’s Villaflor On Demand and Hello Dok services can now pay via GCash and PayMaya. They may download and register on their e-wallet app of choice, then call DDVMH to avail of their needed services. The hospital’s call center agent will then request the needed details and provide the instructions and payment link for an efficient transaction.

Villaflor On Demand is the hospital’s mobile medical service offering laboratory extraction services in patients’ homes -- the first in the Metro Dagupan area -- as well as home delivery of medicines.



Meanwhile, Hello Dok is an online consult program that allows patients to see a doctor through online channels such as Zoom, Facebook Messenger, Google Meet, and Doxy.me. Through this program, patients remain safe at home and avoid the risk of infection from the virus. 

Under this program are two services: Telekonsulta and COVID Helpline.

Telekonsulta provides patients with non-emergency conditions with an alternative to consulting with their doctors face-to-face. 

For COVID-related concerns, patients may opt to use the COVID Helpline. This service provides patients with medical information as well as preliminary counseling on COVID-19. 

To consult through the Hello Dok program, patients may contact the hospital using these numbers: 0917-714-8564, 0939-903-3320, or (075) 522-7629. They may also reach DDVMH through email ddmh.helpdesk@gmail.com and facebook at facebook.com/ddvmh.helpdesk.

By launching these off-site, contactless services, DDVMH is reinventing how medical centers provide healthcare, showing its expertise in meeting and going beyond Metro Dagupan’s medical needs.

Pangasinan comfort food: Dagupan Kaleskes

Image
Dagupan Kaleskes is a dish made out of cow or carabao meat and its internal organs in a hot, delicious, orange colored broth. The dish got its name from ' Kaleskes ' which is a Pangasinan word for intestines .  It is the annatto or achuete that gives the soup its distinct orange color and slightly nutty, earthy and delicately sweet flavor. But most of the yummy flavor comes from the beef and innards (some prefer to use carabeef as it is said to be more flavorful and cheaper than beef).  The meat is slow cooked in a big aluminum basin or casserole usually with charcoal in a brazier or kalan de uling/ ulingan (clay stove). This adds a different scent and flavor to the food. The coup de grace for a delectable Dagupan Kaleskes are the free sebo tan dala (fat and blood)! By the way, the broth is unlimited so you can ask for endless refill.   Kaleskes , a Pangasinan dish is similar to the Ilocano’s Sinanglao and Pinapaitan . It however does not have the

A Look Back to July 16, 1990 Earthquake

Image
The July 16, 1990 Earthquake was a devastating episode for Dagupeños and other people affected by it. But it was also a time for resilience, community collaboration and positive will to rise from the crumbles of devastation. In effect, a new Dagupan was born. Here are images from that fateful day:  It has been 20 years. We, as a city should look back to not how painful and scary the July 16, 1990 earthquake was. Instead, we should remember the lessons learned, the sacrifices and the concerted efforts we made to uplift and make Dagupan great again. Are we now equipped and prepared to handle such emergencies? Can we minimize adverse effects in case (God forbid) such disaster happens again? Can we harness the spirit of genuine concern and voluntarism? Can we become one Dagupan again?
