As we continue celebrating Women's Month, we take this opportunity to spotlight empowered female leaders driving meaningful change. In this installment of "Videogaga Women"—a series by Nomads Media featuring conversations with women-led businesses—we had the privilege of speaking with Jasmine Elizabeth Bautista, Co-Founder & CEO of Juan Medical.
Juan Medical is revolutionizing private healthcare in the Philippines, addressing critical pain points such as hospital inaccessibility, the shortage of medical personnel, and the challenges of reaching underserved communities.
Bringing Healthcare Closer to Filipinos
For many Filipinos, access to hospitals remains a challenge, with the average hospital located 14 kilometers away from home. Juan Medical seeks to bridge this gap by offering home healthcare services, particularly for the elderly, bedridden individuals, and those with chronic illnesses. Through its home service model, the company not only provides convenience but also helps decongest hospitals and clinics, ensuring more efficient medical care for all.
One of the most significant advantages of Juan Medical is its ability to serve areas with poor infrastructure, a shortage of healthcare professionals, and limited hospital facilities. Through mobile healthcare services, communities that previously struggled to access routine tests, vaccinations, and minor medical procedures can now receive essential care right at their doorstep.
Juan Medical also extends its services beyond Philippine borders through its online platform. Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) can book healthcare services for their loved ones in the Philippines, ensuring their families receive necessary medical attention despite being miles away. This digital approach strengthens the connection between overseas Filipinos and their families, reinforcing the importance of accessible healthcare solutions.
Collaborating, Not Competing
Rather than positioning itself as a competitor to hospitals and clinics, Juan Medical partners with major medical institutions to provide lower-cost healthcare services. These collaborations allow the company to offer special rates on laboratory tests and medical procedures, making quality healthcare more affordable and accessible.
With many hospitals facing staff shortages, Juan Medical serves as an invaluable extension of the healthcare system. By handling outpatient services and home-based treatments, the company ensures that hospitals can focus on critical cases while more Filipinos receive timely medical attention.
Comprehensive Medical Services
Operating in Metro Manila, Cavite, Rizal, Laguna, and Bulacan, Juan Medical offers a wide range of healthcare services, including:
Vaccinations and blood tests
Outpatient services (e.g., NGT insertion, IV drips)
Physical therapy
Doctor visitations
Minor surgeries (e.g., circumcision)
Medical certificates and documentation
"Hospital at Home" services
Innovating Healthcare Through Technology
Juan Medical is also at the forefront of telemedicine innovation, making remote consultations more user-friendly and efficient. With increasing awareness of the benefits of telehealth and home-service medical care, more Filipinos are embracing this modern approach to healthcare.
Juan Medical is leveraging digital innovation to improve patient experience. Its online platform allows users to create profiles, access medical results, receive appointment updates, and communicate seamlessly with healthcare providers. By integrating popular digital tools, Juan Medical is simplifying the healthcare process and reducing unnecessary steps for users.
A Healthier Future for Filipinos
With a mission to make healthcare more accessible, affordable, and efficient, Juan Medical is shaping the future of private healthcare in the Philippines. By embracing technology, fostering partnerships, and prioritizing patient convenience, the company is setting a new standard in the industry.
