To foster a collaborative research environment in the fields of health, science, and technology, the ABC for Global Health Foundation Inc. (ABC) formalized its partnership with Don Honorio Ventura State University (DHVSU) through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing held at the University Hostel on June 18, 2025.

The MoU outlines key areas of cooperation, including collaborative research programs in public and global health, workshops and seminars for knowledge exchange, and the sharing of resources and expertise.

This collaboration also provides opportunities for students and faculty to engage in capacity-building activities aimed at enhancing well-being and improving health outcomes.

“Because ABC global health foundation as you all know is a non global organization, NGO siya so they help special, particular people in the marginalized society of our community yun ang concept nila. That’s why they are here, they will teach our students and our employees about that,” Dr. Reynaldo S. Alipio, DHVSU Medical Officer, explained.

This shared vision of Dr. Alipio is reflected in the agreement, which sets a framework for continuous collaboration, focusing on enhancing well-being and advancing research efforts to improve health outcomes and share valuable scientific knowledge.

“The work that we do as an organization, as ABCs, is extremely important because it's mainly focused on outreach to underserved communities, and in order to do outreach and actually make an impact, we need as many hands as possible,” said Pranay Subramanian, a US- based student.

The ceremonial signing was attended by by key DHVSU executives, including University President Dr. Enrique G. Baking; Dr. Ranie B. Canlas, Vice President for Research, Innovation, Training, and Extension; and Dr. Dolores T. Quiambao, Vice President for Student Affairs and Services. Representing ABC for Global Health were Dr. Julieta M. Gabiola, Founder and CEO; Dr. Arthur Z. Gallo, Chief Medical Officer; and Alici Fortaleza, Nurse Administrator at San Francisco General Hospital.

This partnership marks a pivotal step in DHVSU’s continued commitment to advancing health research and enhancing the well-being of local communities.
