Pfizer Philippines Foundation Inc. continues to save lives

Pfizer's non-profit arm, Pfizer Philippines Foundation Inc., (PPFI) together with the Philippine Blood Center, recently conducted an intercompany blood drive as one of the organization’s volunteerism projects. Over 100 volunteers took part in the initiative, exceeding the foundation’s target number of blood bags for the day.

“For over 20 years, PPFI has been working with different organizations to execute programs that help improve healthcare access for Filipinos,” Geoffrey Garcia, PPFI Manager, says.

“Blood is a precious gift that we can give to patients suffering from life-threatening conditions. Through the blood donation of our generous volunteers, we are able to play a part in helping save lives,” he added.   

Pfizer Philippines Foundation, Inc. (PPFI) is the corporate social responsibility arm of Pfizer Philippines. Founded in 1997 to solidify Pfizer’s leadership in contributing to Philippine society, PPFI seeks to serve communities to improve health outcomes for a healthier Philippines.



By collaborating with NGOs, the government, and other agencies as well as actively promoting employee volunteerism, PPFI aims to initiate and develop sustainable equity-based programs that will significantly improve healthcare access on three focus areas: HIV/AIDS, cancer, and nutrition.
