As we continue to expand the Philippine Red Cross’ mission of saving lives, I had the privilege of meeting with key representatives from the World Surgical Philippines (WSFP) and the Rotary Club of Makati Central to explore potential collaborations that could bring lifesaving surgical care to more people in need.
I was joined by our dedicated PRC team—Dr. Christie Monina Nalupta (Assistant Secretary General, Blood Services), Mr. Jaylord Abrigado (Safety Services), Ms. Criselda Longga (Disaster Management Service), and Mr. Mark Abrigo (Health Services)—as we engaged in insightful discussions with Dr. Lester Suntay (WSFP Head), Ms. Telle Pascual (WSFP), Past Rotary President Michael Chua, and Ms. Tisa Morrow (Rotary Club of Makati Central).
The World Surgical Foundation Philippines is committed to providing access to quality surgical healthcare, surgical equipment, and surgical education, ensuring that underserved communities receive the medical attention they deserve. We see a strong alignment between their mission and PRC’s commitment to accessible healthcare, disaster response, and community resilience.
This potential partnership opens doors to enhanced medical services, training opportunities, and expanded humanitarian efforts for those who need it most.
