Medical Benefits
Objectives:

To ensure the health and safety of workers and their families by providing access to medicines, travel apparel, and annual physical examination through salary deduction schemes.

Sessions on relevant health topics (e.g., proper nutrition and hygiene) may also be organized in geographic areas where a significant number of workers’ families live.



Initiatives:
  1. Malaria Vector Control Programs – IOI sends out a Vector Control Specialist to sites where incidences of malaria is high. This Specialist surveys the Filipino camps and comes up with a recommended program to complement or augment clients’ Malarial Control Programs.
  2. Medical Assistance – IOI also provides cash advances for workers who have medical emergencies (themselves while on R&R or their families) upon submission of a medical certificate
  3. Medical Director – IOI has a medical director in retainer to advice and also do site visits to its Africa sites. Dr Josephine Querubin Mulders has been a UN and Doctors Sans Frontiers doctor who has spent a decade in Africa. Her expertise provides invaluable help in ensuring that IOI workers deployed to Africa are made aware of the medical dangers that might face as well as ways to prevent these medical risks. She also advises on the proper vaccinations for workers to be deployed. Their medical clinic does the Pre-Employment Medical Exams and Annual Medical Exams for IOI workers with special consideration for the environment where workers are to be deployed.
