ANCOP USA has launched a third project, known as the “Health Program.” This was announced by Tony Ventura, ANCOP USA President and CEO.

“Starting next year, in addition to the Child Sponsorship Program (CSP) and Community Development Program (CDP), ANCOP-USA projects will include the Health Program that will support the surgical mission of ANCOP Tekton in the Philippines,” Ventura announced.

It was clarified however that sending medical missions is not part of the ANCOP USA Health Program. Rather, the program will focus on raising funds and looking for donors of medicines and surgical instruments that will be sent to ANCOP Tekton, the donee institution in Manila. The funds and donated items will be turned over by ANCOP to CFC Give Kare, the implementor of the ANCOP health program. Give Kare regularly send surgical teams that treat patients around the Philippines.

The ANCOP Health Program also takes care of ANCOP scholars. One objective of the program is to ensure that ANCOP scholars in the Philippines are in excellent health.

On the whole, the Program aims to support and promote a culture of health consciousness in poor communities by advocating and implementing good health practices such as hygiene, nutrition and preventive health care, leading to a healthy lifestyle for the entire family.
