In support of mass COVID-19 testing, SM donates local PCR test kits for 4,000 tests to Baguio City.

Through SM Foundation, and in coordination with DOH, Baguio Mayor Benjamin Magalong, and the test kit producer Manila Healthtek, Baguio General Hospital is one of the first recipients of local Gen Amplify PCR test kits developed by UP-NIH scientists and is among the hospitals SM is donating P 30M worth of test kits to, equivalent to 20,000 tests.

SM Foundation has also provided Baguio General Hospital with supplemental testing accessories, including hyper-filter tips, system racks and cryovials.  Previously, the foundation has also sent BGH 1 ICU-grade ventilator and two shipments of PPEs, including full suits, gloves, masks and alcohol.
