OFW Hospital

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.

History
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. Bloomberry Cultural Foundation Inc. of the Razon Group funded its construction.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the OFW Hospital was held on May 1, 2019. However, its construction did not begin until February 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the construction's progress. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and President Rodrigo Duterte, through an executive order, have fast-tracked the hospital project.

It began operating on May 2, 2022, with its polyclinic. However, the hospital remains underused.

In January 2023, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) took over the hospital's operations from DOLE.

Facilities
The OFW Hospital has a bed capacity of 102. It is intended mainly to serve Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their dependents.
