About
Us
A private non-stock, non-profit foundation
established in 1937 and since then
providing free medical and surgical
services to underprivileged children
born with cleft lip / palate deformities.
What
was founded by Irving S. Hart, an
American war veteran who came to the
Philippines in 1899 to give aid to
deformed & disfigured indigents
has
now become a growing multi-sectoral
partnership driven by a
mission of providing thousands of
indigent Filipinos physically disfigured
at birth, with opportunity to avail
of medical help and support for reconstruction,
rehabilitation and medical treatment.
Together with its partners, PBM is
now in the process of transforming
cleft lip/palate stricken children,
many of them haven't had the experience
of knowing the true meaning of a smile
a chance to improve their quality
of life! And the heart-work of PBM
volunteers is evident in the beautiful
smiles that these children have and
the bright future they now face.
PBM’s
achievements underlies in the selfless
dedication of each member in sharing
their precious time and resources
to bring about an astounding change
to citizens with deformities. We are
also building a Craniofacial Center
in the Philippines which is geared
to provide surgical procedures and
support care services for craniofacial
anomalies as well as training and
continuing education to Filipino doctors,
and those from neighboring countries.
