PNAAF was incorporated in 2002 as a nonprofit organization operating as a supportive arm of the Philippine Nurses Association of America Inc. (PNAA).

“PNAAF promotes and provides opportunities for philanthropy in support of professional advancement and health for all PNAA members through education, scholarship, management and research.”

PNAAF provided financial funds for the conduct of the “Buntis Congress” (Pregnant Women’s Congress) in the municipality of Salcedo in Eastern Samar province. The money was used for the event’s kits, meals and coordination expenses. A research on the effectiveness of conducting Buntis Congress was also funded by PNAAF.

The group also donated P160,000 worth of medical equipment to the Rural Health Units of Salcedo, Basey and Marabut.

Zuellig Pharma provides resources for the Foundation’s relief operations to its disaster-struck partner local government units.

Through a classroom in the field program, university students visit ZFF partner municipalities, which the students study and analyze. They then write research papers and/or make recommendations to improve health systems or programs.

The university also conducted a workshop on writing for publications to ZFF staff.
