The Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) Hospital and Diagnostic Center, or simply the OFW Hospital, is a specialty hospital in San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines. It is meant to cater to Filipino migrant workers.
The Philippine government planned to set up a hospital dedicated to Filipino migrant workers, officially classified as Overseas Filipino Workers.
The provincial government of Pampanga donated the land where the hospital was built.[1] Bloomberry Cultural Foundation Inc. of the Razon Group funded its construction.[2]
The groundbreaking ceremony for the OFW Hospital was held on May 1, 2019. However, its construction did not begin until February 2020.[1] The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the construction's progress.[3] The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and President Rodrigo Duterte, through an executive order, have fast-tracked the hospital project.[4]
It began operating on May 2, 2022, with its polyclinic.[5] However, the hospital remains underused.[6] [7]
In January 2023, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) took over the hospital's operations from DOLE.[8]
The OFW Hospital has a bed capacity of 102. It is intended mainly to serve Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their dependents.[4]
