Hospital
for the Poor
To provide the poor with affordable
access to quality medical services and facilities, the FOLPMI just
finished building a first-rate hospital called Our Lady of Peace
Hospital. This is the only hospital that can provide quality health
care to the poor in Manila.
The 100-bed hospital dubbed "Hospital
for the Poor" is FOLPMI's largest project. The hospital,
which is located on the Coastal Road in Baragay San Dionisio,
Paranaque City (see map), is helping
keep the poor alive and healthy, and helping the sick get back
to normal life.
In December 2001, St. Charles Borromeo
Philippine Medical Mission, with the help of Crosslink International,
St. Vincent de Paul Society, St. Charles Social Justice Ministry,
and the Philippine Embassy in Washington DC, sent three 40-foot
containers full of supplies for the hospital. These donations
provided the hospital with beds, operating tables, lamps, computers,
and medical supplies.
