Press release.- FBM Foundation was recently honoured at the PGH Medical Foundation’s 27th founding anniversary and Donours Appreciation night. The event, held on August 29, at the Manila Hotel, counted with the donation of PHP1m to the institution Medical Foundation on FBM Foundation’s part and recognised its significant contributions to enhancing healthcare services for the Filipino community.

FBM Foundation has played a key role in furthering PGH Medical Foundation’s efforts to enhance the hospital’s ability to deliver essential care, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The ceremony also counted on the presence of Catherine Tobias, senior group finance manager, and Lulu Barreras, the Foundation’s Project coordinator, who attended the event near the FBM Foundation team.

In 2020, the FBM Group donated PHP5m to PGH Medical Foundation, which was crucial in acquiring vital medical equipment needed to combat the spread of the virus. This contribution played a key role in enhancing the hospital’s ability to treat patients during one of the most challenging periods in recent history. In addition, the FBM Foundation has also extended its support to PGH’s Pediatrics Department by allocating PHP1m to enhance its services and facilities in 2023.

Our partnership with PGH Medical Foundation is living proof of our shared vision of uplifting the lives of Filipinos through accessible and high-quality healthcare. We remain committed to supporting the hospital’s mission and are excited to explore further opportunities to contribute to its future goals.”

In the field of education, the Foundation has launched scholarship programs that have enabled hundreds of underprivileged students to pursue higher education. The Foundation has also supported the construction and renovation of school facilities in remote areas, ensuring that children in underserved communities have access to safe and conducive learning environments, and a lot more.
