SectorMost major industry classification systems use sources of revenue as their basis for classifying companies into specific sectors, subsectors and industries. In order to group like companies based on their sustainability-related risks and opportunities, SASB created the Sustainable Industry Classification System® (SICS®) and the classification of sectors, subsectors and industries in the SDG Investor Platform is based on SICS.

Business Model Description

Construction of modular specialized healthcare facilities for dialysis patients in remote areas with identified demand and support from local government.

The UP-PGH Diliman Project is a P21 billion (375 million USD) project that involves the construction of a 'world-class' hospital through public-private partnerships. It aims to provide an addition of 700 beds to cater to the growing need in the NCR and neighboring provinces, Rizal and Laguna. The hospital is also expected to cater to 2,000 outpatient visits per day and 36,196 in-patient admissions per year.

The UP-PGH Cancer Center Project is a 30-year concession where a public-private partnership is involved in the planning, construction, and operation. It is expected to provide a 300-bed capacity facility for cancer patients, half of which is allocated for free use of low-income patients.

The Baguio General Hospital Medical Center (BGHMC) Renal Center Building Project involves the development of a renal treatment facility that will house 60-110 hemodialysis machines under a 15-year PPP contract period. It will serve the needs of hemodialysis of renal patients in the northern Luzon regions (Region 1, 2, and Cordillera Administrative Region).

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) constructed more than 600 COVID-19 facilities, providing a total of 24,513 beds nationwide. These facilities include quarantine and isolation centers, as well as off-site dormitories, and modular hospitals. These healthcare resources are strategically situated in major cities and provinces across various regions in the country, including BARMM.

Expected Impact

Establishing specialized healthcare facilities in the country to cater to the needs for specialized treatment, especially by low-income patients.
