The Zuellig Family Foundation (ZFF) is is a non-governmental organization in the Philippines.[1][3] It offers leadership and governance training to local government officials using the Health Change Model, a framework that emphasizes the role of local leaders in making health systems more responsive to health inequalities.[3][4]
History
[edit]The Zuellig Group, an international company involved in healthcare and insurance, established the Pharmaceutical Health and Family Foundation in 1997. In 2008, the foundation was renamed the Zuellig Family Foundation. ZFF operates as a family foundation and receives its funding from the Zuellig family, rather than from the Zuellig Group’s corporate funds.[3]
Program Areas
[edit]Since its establishment in 2008, ZFF has partnered with local governments to improve access to and delivery of health services, guided by its Health Change Model. A key objective of its work has been to support efforts to reduce the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) to 52 deaths per 100,000 live births. In 2013, ZFF collaborated with the Department of Health (Philippines) to launch the Health Leadership and Governance Program, a three-year initiative aimed at training local government leaders to deliver more effective and responsive healthcare services.[4][5]
In 2016, ZFF partnered with the Department of Health (Philippines) and the United Nations Population Fund to implement the Indigenous Peoples-inclusive Barangay Leadership and Governance Program for Health. This program aimed to improve maternal, neonatal, and child health and nutrition outcomes in indigenous communities by supporting the development of culturally sensitive health services.[6]
In 2020, ZFF co-managed The Challenge Initiative (TCI) with the Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health. TCI is a five-year urban reproductive health program designed to help cities become more responsive to the sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescents and youth. The initiative engages health providers, local governments, communities, and young people in the delivery of youth-friendly services and in addressing issues such as unintended teenage pregnancies.[7]
In 2022, ZFF implemented the Municipal Nutrition Governance Program (MNGP) in the island municipalities of Pilar, Burgos, and Santa Monica in Surigao del Norte. The program supported local government efforts to improve maternal and child nutrition by strengthening pregnancy tracking, prenatal care, immunization, and other nutrition-focused health services.[8]
Leadership
[edit]Roberto Romulo, former Secretary of Foreign Affairs (Philippines), served as the founding Chair of the foundation. Ernesto Garilao, former Secretary of Agrarian Reform, served as founding President.[3]
In 2023, Austere Panadero, who served as undersecretary for the Department of the Interior and Local Government, was appointed as President and Executive Director of ZFF, with Garilao serving as Chair.[2]
