Uratex partners with sleep experts to tackle science-backed solutions to sleep crisis

MANILA, Philippines — Uratex Philippines, the country’s leading sleep solutions provider, has officially partnered with the Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine, Inc. (PSSM) to address the growing problem of sleep deprivation and related disorders in the Philippines.

The inking ceremony, held at Uratex Alabang with the theme “Partnering to Provide Quality Sleep for Filipinos,” marked the beginning of a joint effort to raise awareness, conduct research and develop innovative solutions to help Filipinos achieve better sleep quality.

The collaboration between Uratex, known as The Sleep Specialist, and PSSM, the recognized professional organization of doctors who specialize in sleep medicine, has been years in the making.

Dr. Rodolfo V. Dizon Jr., President of PSSM, described the partnership as “a long time coming” and emphasized its significance. “We’ve been working toward this for about five years. I personally saw Uratex’s commitment during our plant tour last June, and it became clear that their mission aligns with ours,” he said. “It excites us because the ultimate beneficiaries of this collaboration are the Filipino people.”

Sleep deprivation is a silent crisis affecting millions of Filipinos. Recent studies have indicated that the Philippines ranks among the most sleep-deprived nations globally. However, as Dr. Dizon pointed out, the existing data is limited and largely based on surveys rather than comprehensive national studies.

“We lack localized, scientific data on sleep deprivation and disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea. This partnership with Uratex will allow us to pool our resources and hopefully begin nationwide research to get a clearer picture of the problem,” he explained. 

Stephen Lee, Sleep Business Unit Director of Uratex, echoed the importance of awareness as the first step in tackling the issue.

“At this point, the problem is not seen, but it’s there. Many Filipinos are sleep-deprived or suffering from sleep diseases, yet they are unaware of it. That’s why this partnership is so timely,” Lee said. “Our goal is to combine the medical expertise of PSSM with Uratex’s strength in product innovation and technology to create awareness. If
