Marino Healthcare at Ventis Maritime Corporation’s Welfare Event in Bohol
Recently, Ventis Maritime Corporation held one of its Welfare Event in Bohol, bringing together crew members and their families from across the region to promote awareness on health, livelihood, and overall well-being. The event served as an opportunity for seafarers and their loved ones to reconnect, learn, and share insights on issues that matter most to the maritime community.
Supporting Crew Wellness Through Health Education
As part of our commitment to the health and welfare of Filipino seafarers, Marino Healthcare proudly joined the event as a sponsor. We provided a resource speaker, Dr. Luci Dianne Ejercito-Elemeos, who led an engaging discussion on lifestyle illnesses — including practical ways to prevent and manage common health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.
Dr. Ejercito-Elemeos emphasized how maintaining a balanced lifestyle, even while working at sea, can significantly reduce health risks and improve quality of life. Her talk received warm participation from both the crew and their families, who appreciated the interactive approach and actionable advice.
Highlighting Marino Healthcare Benefits for Crew Members
During the event, the Marino Healthcare team also took the opportunity to explain the current medical benefits available to Ventis crew under the Marino Healthcare Program. This included a detailed walkthrough of outpatient and inpatient services, emergency assistance, and preventive care benefits accessible through our accredited partners.
Participants were encouraged to maximize their coverage by keeping their health records up to date and by using Marino’s partner facilities for faster, more efficient care.
Expanding Protection Through Non-Life Insurance
In line with our mission to promote holistic protection for seafarers and their families, we also introduced our non-life insurance services, particularly Home Insurance and Car Insurance. These offerings provide financial peace of mind, ensuring that the crew’s hard-earned assets remain protected wherever they may be deployed.
“Lakas ng Loob”: A Workshop for the Mind and Heart
Another highlight of the day was our interactive workshop, “Lakas ng Loob”, done in partnership with Narra Health. The session focused on mental health awareness and stress management, encouraging participants to open up about emotional wellness.
Through fun activities and honest sharing, we explored ways to handle stress, build resilience, and care for one’s mental health — both on board and at home.
Together for a Healthier, Stronger Maritime Community
It was truly inspiring to see the strong sense of camaraderie and care among the Ventis community. Events like this remind us why we do what we do — to help seafarers and their families live healthier, happier, and more secure lives.
Marino Healthcare, together with Ventis Maritime Corporation and Narra Health, remains committed to supporting the maritime community through programs that promote health, protection, and overall well-being.
Here’s to more meaningful collaborations and healthier tomorrows for our seafarers!
