Bepensa, through its Bepensa Foundation, donated three ventilators to two healthcare institutions in Yucatán. Two were donated to the Red Cross, and the last was sent to the San Carlos Hospital in Tizimín.
The donations were presented on February 2 at the Red Cross Orthopedic Hospital and reaffirmed the foundation's commitment to solidarity and the health of the communities where Bepensa operates. Crucial in the treatment of patients with respiratory problems, the donated medical devices play a vital role in providing respiratory assistance. Thus, the donation of this medical equipment by the Bepensa Foundation will contribute to strengthening the response capacity of the Red Cross and San Carlos Hospital to address emergencies and provide quality care to the community.
With this gesture, the Bepensa Foundation recognizes the importance of collaboration between the business sector and public institutions to strengthen the healthcare system and ensure the well-being of society as a whole.
B Day for Your Health Program: Transforming Lives
In addition to the donation of ventilators, Bepensa's commitment to the well-being and quality of life of Yucatecans can be seen in the "B Day for Your Health" program, an initiative also carried out by the Bepensa Foundation.
B Day for Your Health has been a huge success since its inception in 2020, which is why the program will expand to five more municipalities in 2024: Hunucmá, Progreso, Emiliano Zapata, Tekax, Buctzotz, and Espita, joining the existing municipalities of Chumayel, Kantunil, Tunkás, and Sotuta. Additionally, they will be part of the Health Fairs organized by the Yucatán State Health Secretariat to engage and raise awareness among the population about self-care, disease prevention, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle.
This program is designed to enable a cross-cutting change in habits toward healthier lifestyles, thereby improving the quality of life of participants. This is achieved by offering self-care tools, social and emotional support, counseling for lifestyle changes, and active communication skills to support others with the same conditions.
Thus, through the delivery of respirators and the expansion of the Día B por tu salud (B Day for Your Health) program, Bepensa, through its Foundation, reaffirms its commitment to the well-being of the communities where it operates, working together with authorities and residents to build stronger, healthier communities.
