Ford Philippines is helping out our medical and healthcare frontliners in South Luzon with the deployment of their 15-seater Ford Transit minibus at Asian Hospital.
According to Ford, the lendout will allow the medical frontliners to get to Asian Hospital faster and more conveniently to facilitate medical service delivery.
In a press statement, PK Umashankar, managing director of Ford Philippines, said, “We are one with the nation in recognizing the important contributions of medical frontliners, our modern-day heroes, whose roles are very critical during this Covid-19 pandemic. With the Ford Transit, we are able to assist in their mobility needs so they can provide the much-needed medical care as soon as possible.”
Further, Ford has partnered with Lifeline 16-911 for a lendout of the Ford Transit for the entire duration of the quarantine period to transport medical frontliners to Lifeline’s various points of dispatch (LIFEPODS). Points of dispatch are standalone ambulance stations spread across Metro Manila that house the ambulance, equipment, and crew. Lifeline 16911 is the largest private ambulance and pre-hospital provider in Metro Manila that offers 24/7 emergency quick response ambulances, doctors on call, and patient transfer services.
The company is looking to lend its Ford Ranger pickup trucks to partner-organizations to help transport food, supplies, equipment, and other essential goods.
