HISTORY

In October 2018, after 25 years, the Committee of German Doctors ceased its funding and management of one of its pioneering infirmaries, the Bukidnon Community Health Care Center (BCHCC) in Valencia City, which opened an opportunity for the Mindanao Foundation to take over. Mindanao Foundation has committed to continue the noble mission of the infirmary to the indigenous people of Central Mindanao.

With the progress of the institution in the southern region, BCHCC now provides an anchor to the Foundation’s vision of health care delivery system. Geographically, almost 80% of the indigent population live in Pantaron range which lies at the borders of Southern Mindanao and crosses to three more regions of Mindanao. Furthermore, along the border is Mt. Apo and its ranges which stretches to the provinces of Far-South Mindanao which is also the home of Bagobo, Matigslaog, Tboli and Blaan tribes. Valencia City is situated at the heart of the island where all other regions are connected.

The Bukidnon Community Health Care Center has been serving the indigenous people and has been a strong partner of grassroots health workers in strengthening the health condition of the poorest sectors of the region. As 2019 begins, the BCHCC opens a new chapter for another 25 fruitful years, now with the guidance of Mindanao Foundation.
