Malaria Management Training in Zambales
Who we are
We are a group of dedicated health and allied professionals and students who recognize the need to reach out to poor communities and make quality health care more accessible to them. As health professionals and advocates, we are confronted daily by the deplorable health situation in poor communities in the Philippines. In December 2001, we set up the Advocates for Community Health, Inc. to formalize our commitment to serve underprivileged communities.
Since then, the Advocates have been launching medical relief missions to remote areas to respond to the immediate and urgent health problems of far-flung communities where health care is scarce. To support our various health-related outreach activities, we rely mainly on donations and volunteer work from health professionals and advocates who, like us, have a heart to help those who are in need.
