Since 2019, Ayala Healthcare Holdings Inc (AC Health) has invested in I.E. Medica as a part of its efforts to expand its pharma portfolio and elevate the healthcare landscape in the Philippines.
This partnership has enabled both companies to better serve Filipinos by improving access to quality healthcare. The new warehouse marks another milestone in this ongoing partnership, aligning with the shared goal of enhancing healthcare delivery.
