Continuing its mission of boosting local healthcare services, SM Foundation has recently completed the refurbishment of two health centers in South Cotabato.

The Polomolok East Community Clinic and the Baluan Rural Health Unit in General Santos City have undergone extensive renovations, bringing quality healthcare closer to vulnerable communities, particularly those in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas .

The foundation included a multifunctional waiting area, hydration and nebulization areas, upgraded conference rooms, and improved lighting and ventilation throughout the facilities. The foundation also included comfortable waiting areas with televisions for information, education, and communication initiatives. New signages have been aptly placed to provide better guidance to patients and health workers.

Privacy during examinations has been ensured with the installation of privacy screens. The centers also boast an improved counseling area for tuberculosis patients and additional exhaust systems in the laboratories. New furniture and appliances have been provided throughout the facilities. These improvements are made to encourage the local community, especially residents of GIDA areas, to take care of their health.

Meanwhile, the pharmacy services of Polomolok’s community clinic have been enhanced with a ready supply of essential drugs with the support of the Mahintana Foundation.
