In support to Philippine General Hospital (PGH), Research Instutute for Tropical Medicine (RITM), and other government hospitals for their urgent needs and for improving their laboratory testing capacity, SM allots PhP 100M to help medical front liners to combat CoVid-19.
SM has also allocated PPEs and medical supplies to the UP Medical Foundation Inc. to reach a wider network of hospitals.
To improve availability of tests, SM has reached out to Manila Healthtek Inc. to distribute 20,000 tests for free to government hospitals, once approved for use.
“To ensure the safety of medical frontliners, SM is bringing in personal protective equipment (PPE) - face masks, gowns, visors, hoods, gloves, and shoe covers, as well as urgent medical supplies to help government hospitals who badly need them,” said SM Prime’s Hans Sy.
