EDUCATION, at its best, is more than just a pathway to personal success; it is the blueprint for a healthier, future-ready nation. With a functional and efficient education system in place, the Philippines would have the power to produce a health care workforce that is not only skilled enough to meet the country's evolving health needs but also deeply committed to the mission of serving the Filipino people. Ultimately, the goals of universal health care (UHC) would be within reach if a collaborative approach to investing in education is deemed a worthwhile and undeniable priority.

Acknowledging the critical connection between education and the health industry, Unilab Foundation (ULF) leads the conversations on this intersection by exploring an academic partnership with the Philippine Women's University (PWU). ULF and PWU continues to discuss avenues for cross-border collaboration on programs and local research studies, aimed at integrating academe with industry.
