For want of space, we are unable to attach the numerous letters of customer satisfaction. b) Integrating Health into Corporate Objectives: Besides screening, counseling and supporting employees to manage their health.

Over the years, we have been able to influence our clients into integrating the following facilities (Health Insurance, Health Education, Healthy Canteens, Sports Facilities, etc.) into their daily/ annual activity. c) Employees Engagement: For me, health care is not an isolated event of screening, or counseling or managing Isolated Medical Ailment.
