Local distributor Hyundai Asia Resources Inc. (HARI) has officially launched its BIYAHEnihan program that aims to provide transport to medical frontliners in Southern Luzon.
Under its flagship disaster relief program #HyundaiSAGIP through H.A.R.I. Foundation, Inc. (HFI), BIYAHEnihan will shuttle health workers and medical supplies to St. Francis Cabrini Medical Center (SFCMC) in Sto. Tomas, Batangas and Dr. JP Rizal Memorial District Hospital in Calamba, Laguna.
Both hospitals have been strong partners of the Hyundai Logistics Center (HLC) in Laguna. SFCMC provides HLC monthly medical health bulletins while Dr. JP Rizal Hospital provides the logistic center employees triage for medical emergencies and conducts health and safety training with the Philippine National Red Cross.
According to Korean carmaker, vehicles that were used during the initial deployments include Hyundai Country Bus, Hyundai Starex, and Hyundai HD65.
Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo, HARI President and CEO, said, “We hope that this contribution will sustain and inspire our heroic front liners in Southern Luzon. HARI will continue to fill in the gaps as we continue our collective battle to flatten the curve.”
HARI through HFI is also reinforcing ongoing COVID containment efforts with a fresh supply of 2,500 PPEs for front liners at the UP Philippine General Hospital (UP PGH). The country’s premier state-run University Hospital and the largest government health facility and referral center is HFI’s staunch partner in the flagship ALAGANG BREASTFRIEND free breast cancer screening and information dissemination campaign.
