Welcome to the Heart Health Foundation of the Philippines! Here you will learn about our programs and services, as well as ways YOU can help in the fight against heart disease.
But first: Did you know that heart and vascular system diseases remain the top two killers among Filipinos today? It is estimated that approximately 90 percent of Filipinos are exposed to one or more risk factors that trigger the onset and subsequent progression of heart disease. In the Philippines, the cost of cardiovascular medical care remains prohibitive for many and out of reach for the poor.
The Heart Health Foundation of the Philippines (HHFP) hopes to address this situation by providing poor patients suffering from cardiovascular disease access to quality and affordable cardiovascular care. The foundation works in tandem with the National Heart Institutes (NHI), the private hospitals and the cardiovascular specialists who are part of the NHI consortium, to identify patients, recommend and provide the best possible treatment.
