The HFDB-PH is a knowledge resource solution hosted on Google Sites, and is developed and maintained by the Health Facility Development Bureau (HFDB) of the Department of Health of the Philippines.
The HFDB formulates policies and develops standards for the establishment, development, management and operations of health facilities in the country.

Improving delivery of health services and determining critical areas for continuous improvement of patient-centered quality care are the Bureau's utmost priorities.
