Legacy and Strong Business Track Record
Established in 1991, Medical Depot has over 30 years of experience in offering world-class durable and sturdy medical equipment and supplies to both its customers and partners.

Medical Depot has put up many of its physical stores across strategic locations within NCR and nearby provinces such as Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Batangas, all of which are within high-traffic areas and close to hospitals for easier access. The company aims to also open more stores in the provinces of Laguna and as far as Isabela, Cagayan, and Ilocos.
In 2021, Medical Depot went full-blast into e-commerce to cater to a wider net of consumers who need medical supplies and equipment to be delivered to them conveniently. This allows for better access to quality medical products.
Affordability at all Costs
The company has always put their customers’ and partners’ need at the forefront of what they do. Over the years, many have perceived Medical Depot as a premium yet surprisingly affordable brand.
The company is a direct importer in Asia Pacific that gives them the ability to acquire high quality products and build strong business partnerships across the region and the country. When hospitals do business with Medical Depot, they are not only assured of the quality of the medical supplies but also of the value for money they are able to get out of it.
This is also to ensure that consumers can avail of premium and high-standard products at the most affordable prices.

Medical Depot prides itself of its unique brand of service where each member has been trained to practice listening intently and thinking before they serve customers and partners. Having served thousands of Filipinos in over 30 years, Medical Depot has truly committed to serving and helping the community with all their medical supplies and needs.
Medical Depot’s businesss model is unique because on top of providing pharmaceutical and convenience products, they also sell medical supplies and hospital equipment that other big players in the medical industry do not offer.

Assess risk of stroke in just 3 minutes with stroke risk calculator
OMRON Healthcare recently introduced on its website the Stroke Risk Calculator, a tool that will help individuals assess their risk of stroke in the next five to 10 years based on their eating habits, medical history, and current lifestyle.

Stroke is a serious life-threatening medical condition with hypertension serving as the biggest risk factor. Elevated blood pressure continues to pose a problem in the country due to the seemingly lack of awareness about hypertension and promotion of high blood pressure prevention, detection and control among Filipinos.
The number of Filipinos afflicted with hypertension continues to increase as many of them are unaware that they have high blood pressure. Some of them only find out they are hypertensive after they had a heart attack or stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. In 2022, the recorded cases of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, reached more than 63,000, making it the third leading cause of death in the country, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
“As stroke remains to be one of the top enemies of Filipinos, people of all ages should assess their level of risk and start taking action to reduce their stroke risks. One of the most effective and simplest things to do now is to constantly measure and monitor one’s blood pressure, keep a record of their readings, and assess all factors that contribute to their readings. But don’t stop at that, change your lifestyle if you must and commit to healthy habits,” shared Philippine Society of Hypertension Dr. Alejandro Bimbo F. Diaz.
To address the country’s growing cases of stroke, OMRON Healthcare recently introduced on its website the Stroke Risk Calculator, a tool that will help individuals assess their risk of stroke in the next five to 10 years based on their eating habits, medical history, and current lifestyle. The new feature also offers information about the top contributors to an individual’s stroke risk to help them make better choices and necessary lifestyle changes.
The Stroke Risk Calculator is developed by Professor Valery Feigin of the Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand with the help of over 300 prominent stroke experts from 102 countries, making it the world’s largest international collaborative mobile health initiative of its kind. It is also endorsed by the World Stroke Organization and World Heart Federation, among many other global health organizations.
The Stroke Risk Calculator reduces Filipinos’ risks of suffering a stroke. The tool comprises of 21 questions and only takes about three to five minutes to finish. Guided by the American Framingham Heart Study, the questionnaire makes predictions depending on one’s habits pertaining to diet, drinking, and exercise as well as medical history such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Age, ethnicity, sex, height and weight are also taken into consideration.
“The introduction of the Stroke Risk Calculator online is in line with OMRON’s long-term vision of “Going For Zero” that aims at creating and shaping a better and healthier future for all via reducing cardiovascular events with the use of reliable medical devices and tools for preventive healthcare. With accuracy being part of OMRON’s legacy across all its devices, we made sure to consult national and international scientific forums to provide patients with the most reliable and accessible tool,” said OMRON Asia Pacific Pte Ltd Philippine Branch (Healthcare Division) general manager Yusuke Kato.
The Stroke Risk Calculator is accurate and backed by scientific studies, but doctor consultation is still important to assess one’s risks of developing heart diseases and suffering a stroke. Together with professional health advice, the information provided by the calculator points the individuals to the right direction to start addressing their personal health concerns and prevent the occurrence of a stroke.
