Bayanihan for Wellbeing (BWB). This collaborative is a multidisciplinary approach in mental health and psychosocial services provides a platform for engagement and resource-sharing as it brings together youth organizations, parents’ and teachers’ groups, counselors’, doctors and professional associations, NGOs, and government agencies.

Philippine Play Coalition. Led by the Unilab Foundation, the Philippine Play Coalition was established to solidify its policy advocacy of championing play as a right of every child. Ultimately, this advocacy aims to build an extensive coalition and network of organizations to institutionalize the National Play Advocacy Week in the Philippines. More specifically, the National Play Advocacy Week is a week-long celebration of children’s right to play, during the National Children’s Month.

Reshaping Healthcare Through Collaboration
At the Unilab Center for Health Policy, we believe that collaboration and expertise are key to improving healthcare. We facilitate dialogue between government and private sector stakeholders, using evidence-based research to improve services for vulnerable Filipinos. Our expert Advisory Council, chaired by former Health Secretary Dr. Enrique T. Ona, guides our four transformative research projects: from analyzing decades of health spending to building referral systems for over 6,000 remote communities, the development of effective governance frameworks for provider payments, the creation of practical implementation manuals for PhilHealth’s outpatient benefits— we're working to create a healthier future.
We aim to:
-
Offer a platform for stakeholders to discuss health issues, learn from working experiences, stories of successes, and promising failures of social experiments;
-
Touch on issues concerning public health, financing, service delivery, and regulation;
-
Become a knowledge hub where workable policy and implementation recommendations will be cultivated.

At the Unilab Center for Health Policy, we're driven by a singular vision: a healthier, future-ready Philippines.
We believe true progress comes from collaboration and innovation, and we're dedicated to making universal healthcare a reality. We do this by igniting critical conversations, bringing together experts and stakeholders to shape the future of health policy.
Crucially, we put ideas into action
Through strategic partnerships with local governments, we pilot groundbreaking projects, demonstrating the power of innovative approaches on the ground. We're not just talking about change, we're building it.
