Influenza is an infection of the respiratory system caused by the influenza virus. It’s a troublesome illness that will likely hit you at least once a year. While people easily heal from the flu on their own, it’s always good to know what you need to do to protect yourself from the virus, and what to do when you get infected.

To that end, Maxicare Chief Medical Officer Dr. Art Libao and Senior Vice President for Operations Mr. Lito Ortiz were interviewed by 93.9 iFM’s DJ Papi Bonjing and DJ Mommy Julia last December 13, 2023, in order to learn more about the flu and how we can protect ourselves. They also discussed the differences between the flu and pneumonia.
