BDO Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank Inc. has been rehabilitating regional health units as part of efforts to help improve the healthcare delivery system in the Philippines. The initiative—which contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No. 3 to ensure healthy lives and promote the well-being of people of all ages—is critical as the country comes to grips with the pandemic.
To help health workers in the fight to contain COVID-19, BDO Foundation has sustained its efforts to rehabilitate rural health units across the country. BDO Foundation has been renovating rural health units particularly in economically disadvantaged and disaster-affected communities. Several rural health units have been successfully rehabilitated and turned over.
Improvements included their layout and interior design, lobby and waiting areas, offices, clinics, consultation rooms, treatment rooms, facilities and spaces for health workers and patients. Play areas for children complete with books and toys as well as waiting lounges for the comfortable use of the elderly were also constructed. With these projects completed, doctors, nurses and midwives are now better equipped to provide primary healthcare services more effectively to their constituents.
Yesterday, November 10, 2021 the Ceremonial Turnover of the Placer Rural Health Unit in Surigao Del Norte was held online via Zoom. Attended by the government & health officials of Surigao Del Norte and officials from the BDO Foundation.
