BDO Foundation improves country's rural health centers
Residents in rural areas where big hospitals are far, deserve better health care. Thus, the BDO Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank is rehabilitating the country's health centers. To date, BDO Foundation has renovated 111 health centers in the Philippines. In Iloilo, these are the Dueñas Municipal Health Office, Barotac Viejo Municipal Health Office and Birthing Facility, and Mina Municipal Health Center. The latest center to be renovated is the Corella Regional Health Unit that is located in Corella, a 5th class municipality in Bohol. The center includes a delivery room, surgery area, treatment area, staff room, vaccine room, public health care, Philhealth office, and more. The center was turned over by the foundation to the LGU in July 2021. More locals will benefit from the improvements as they are more encouraged to avail of basic health services offered in the center.
