BDO Foundation continues to strengthen its commitment to nation-building by prioritizing access to basic healthcare services for underserved communities. Through its various health-focused initiatives, the foundation aims to uplift the lives of Filipinos by improving healthcare facilities, supporting medical missions, and promoting health education. With a mission rooted in compassion and inclusion, BDO Foundation ensures that quality healthcare becomes more accessible—especially to those who need it most.
Several primary care facilities in the provinces of Antique
and Cebu received renovation support from BDO Foundation through the
recommendation of BDO and BDO Network Bank branches.
As part of its long-standing program, the foundation
continues its mission to support public health workers and local government
units in providing optimal patient care within an environment that is conducive
to healing and wellness. “BDO Foundation prioritizes this mission because we
believe in the importance of basic healthcare and its irreplaceable function in
a community,” shared BDO Foundation president Mario Deriquito.
The primary care facility serves as the first line of
defense for communities in health and wellness. It is a space where children
are vaccinated, individuals run to for routine check-ups, and a facility that
provides overall basic preventive health care.

The rural health unit rehabilitation program of BDO
Foundation is supported by BDO and BDO Network Bank branches. Branch officers,
acting beyond their mandate, recommend nearby health centers that would benefit
from the program. “We have branch employees who grew up visiting these health
centers, and they are always eager to find ways to support their own
community,” he continued.

The facility serves more than 33,000 individuals in seven
barangays and nearby communities. The two-story building was renovated to
include a private breastfeeding area for nursing mothers, a play area for kids,
and a space for the elderly.
Prior to this project, BDO Foundation also turned over the
Tuburan Rural Health Unit-I. It is a health center that serves a population of
more than 68,000 in 54 barangays—a testament to the foundation’s mission of
bringing accessible health care to more Filipinos nationwide.
BDO Foundation aims to strengthen its support for the
national health delivery system at the grassroots by continuously
rehabilitating more facilities in the years to come. Turnover and inauguration
