BDO Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank, welcomed the new year with the turnover of four newly rehabilitated rural health units (RHUs) for the benefit of more than 96,000 Filipinos in several parts of Luzon and the Visayas.
Supporting the country’s capacity to deliver basic health services at the grassroots level, BDO Foundation rehabilitated two health facilities in Capiz, namely, Ivisan Rural Health Unit and Birthing Facility and Sapian Rural Health Unit and Birthing Clinic.
The foundation also rehabilitated Peñarrubia Rural Health Unit in Abra and Pilar Rural Health Unit in Bohol. In total, BDO Foundation has rehabilitated 195 rural health units nationwide.
Guided by the local government units and their respective municipal health officers, BDO Foundation improved the interiors and exteriors of the facilities – making the health centers more conducive to healing and wellness. In some RHUs, the foundation added areas for senior citizens, children, and breastfeeding mothers to ensure the community’s comfort when visiting the centers for their routine check-up.
BDO Foundation believes that RHUs are critical in strengthening the delivery of primary healthcare services. They are important in the community as facilities where people go to for basic health checks, regular immunization, and other primary health needs and preventive care.
“We want primary health care to be accessible and comfortable for Filipinos. We hope that our humble contribution empowers our health workers to provide better services, and helps patients receive better care,” shared BDO Foundation president Mario Deriquito.
The RHU rehabilitation program is an ongoing initiative of BDO Foundation. The foundation continues to renovate health centers across the country, with the help of BDO Unibank and BDO Network Bank branch officers who recommend RHUs that need support.
