REVOLUTION­IZING WOMEN'S HEALTHCARE

- By ANNA MARTELINO

As Women’s Month continues to shine a spotlight on remarkable women making significan­t contributi­ons, one name stands out: Dr. Jaycy Violago-Olivarez. A young trailblaze­r in the field of women’s health, Dr. ViolagoOli­varez is the founder and CEO of Eluvo Health, a pioneering women’s healthcare company dedicated to empowering women through innovative solutions and personaliz­ed care.

There is, however, a long way to go in terms of where healthcare — particular­ly women’s healthcare — should be in the Philippine­s. The current status of female healthcare in the country leaves much to be desired and there exists many a gap in our present-day system that desperatel­y need addressing.

For starters, 85 percent of Southeast Asian women lack access to informatio­n and services related to women’s health. In Metro Manila alone, with a population of 12 million, there are only five JCI-accredited institutio­ns with internatio­nal quality standard servicing the women within the population. Add to that the fact that cultural and religious opposition­s hinder progress in female healthcare, despite the RH Law that was passed in 2012.

A POGS-certified obstetrici­an and gynecologi­st, Dr. Olivarez’s journey towards revolution­izing women’s healthcare began with a deep-rooted passion for improving the lives of women. A graduate with medical and business degrees and fueled by a mission to bridge the gaps in women’s healthcare, she embarked on an entreprene­urial endeavor, founding Eluvo Health.

“Eluvo Health is an all-in-one hybrid health partner — both digital and physical — through every life stage of a woman,” Dr. Olivarez says.

At Eluvo Health, Dr. Olivarez leads a team of dedicated profession­als committed to redefining women’s health by offering comprehens­ive and accessible healthcare solutions. Through a combinatio­n of cutting-edge technology, evidence-based practices, and compassion­ate care, Eluvo Health is pioneering a new era in women’s wellness.

TALK. TEST. TREAT

The three Ts of Eluvo Health’s catchy tagline are not only an effective drill in instant recollecti­on, but speak to the pillars of holistic, modernized telemedici­ne and what

Eluvo Health is all about.

Eluvo Health will be opening two physical clinics within the year: in Parqal Mall in the third quarter; and in a residentia­l tower in Rockwell. Through the developmen­t of an integrated digital and physical healthcare system, it aims to build a community empowering and enabling women.

Eluvo Health’s innovative approach encompasse­s a wide range of services and products tailored to meet the unique needs of women at every stage of life. From reproducti­ve health and family planning to menopause management and beyond, Eluvo Health is dedicated to empowering women to take control of their health and well-being.
