No, the Foundation does not engage in medical missions and drug donations because the Foundation believes that a systemic approach is needed to achieve meaningful improvements in the country’s health indicators.
An exemption to this occurred in the aftermath of super typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan) in 2013. The Foundation, with its staff of doctors and health professionals, along with their volunteer friends, organized two medical missions in two of its partner municipalities in the province of Capiz. And under its Community Disaster Response Program, medicines were also given to select Rural Health Units in the Samar and Eastern Samar provinces.
