Mundipharma Philippines recently provided Povidone-Iodine (BETADINE®️) products to the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) as they partner with the agency to promote oral and body hygiene among the inmates of the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa.

Povidone-Iodine (BETADINE®) is clinically-proven to effectively kill viruses, bacteria and fungi2-5. The products from Mundipharma will help prevent the spread of contagious diseases such as flu and measles, as well as more common ailments like sore throat and mouth ulcers, and skin infections like boils, which may impact the well-being of the prisoners held in the said facility.
“Mundipharma is invested in the well-being of every Filipino and this partnership with the BuCor is a testament to this dedication. We believe that maintaining the health and well-being of the inmates housed within the New Bilibid Prison is an integral part of their rehabilitation.” Ian Santos, Mundipharma Country Manager said.
This partnership with the BuCor, which was cemented through a turn-over ceremony will help more than 30,000 inmates attain better hygiene and physical health through the use of Povidone-Iodine (BETADINE®) products.
