The mission of Philips Foundation is to provide access to quality healthcare for underserved communities through meaningful innovation. with renowned non-governmental or humanitarian organisations (NGOs), the Philips Foundation determines the healthcare need on the ground, and innovates towards new solutions, to improve the healthcare system. The Foundation will also work with NGO partners to identify impactful community projects to increase access to healthcare of disadvantaged communities. In extreme cases, in manmade or natural disasters, the Foundation provides disaster relief to regions.
The Philips Foundation and PFII support projects/entrepreneurs typically among the underserved communities in countries where Royal Philips or one of its subsidiaries are present, or in LMIC where Philips is not present but a lot of impact can be made within the criteria they apply. When entering LMIC, we assure collaboration with a strong (NGO-) partner and / or social entrepreneur on the ground.
