The decades long commitment to offer medical and healthcare-related services nationwide has catapulted Medical Depot’s growth from its humble beginnings in Bambang, Sta. Cruz to reaching more Filipinos across the country.
Here are six ways Medical Depot has grown to become the trusted choice of consumers and the healthcare industry over the years.
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 proven its track record in building a solid business with more than 200 employees since its establishment.
Medical Depot has also understood and recognized the need of more individuals for reliable medical equipment with the rise of life expectancy and rapid technology advancements. For example, older individuals need additional care and this must be addressed through state-of-the-art medical equipment and machines to help them live comfortably.
This is one reason why Medical Depot has survived decades of providing quality medical supplies and equipment from local suppliers to global partners by maintaining a solid track record and commitment to helping Filipinos.
Accessibility as a Priority
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.
Wide Array of Quality Medical Products
It’s one thing to provide a wide selection of medical products but another to provide those of uncompromising quality. With Medical Depot, be assured that medical products and supplies purchased are all at par with global and international standards.
From pharmaceutical products to surgical instruments, laboratory supplies and equipment, hospital machines, medical supplies, tools, and devices, rescue supplies, and COVID-related products, Medical Depot surely has what the Filipino community needs.
Serving the Filipino Community
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.
One-Stop Medical Shop
Unlike any other, Medical Depot considers itself a one-stop medical shop with more than 15,000 medical products all under one roof. From medical equipment, surgical supplies, among others, Medical Depot surely has what both consumers and clients need.
“Medical Depot has always been committed to reach more Filipinos and provide them access to high-quality and affordable medical products wherever they are in the country. To date, we are the biggest leading medical retail shop with plans to expand nationwide in 2022. There is a lot to look forward to for Medical Depot and the growth we are projecting in the coming months,” shares Rodolfo Medina JR, Medical Depot Chief Executive Officer.
