Bloomberry Cultural Foundation Inc., the corporate social responsibility arm of billionaire Enrique Razon Jr.’s Solaire Resorts and Casino, will fund a national program that will grant scholarships for students in various medical courses.

The initiative aims to produce 763 graduates in fields such as medicine, nursing, allied health services, sciences, and caregiving.

Partnering with Pilipinas Shell Foundation Inc., Bloomberry said in a statement that it  seeks to address the declining number of medical practitioners in the Philippines due to emigration.

The program, launched last week at St. Luke’s Medical Center College of Medicine, involves 15 university partners nationwide.

Officials of Bloomberry, St. Luke's medical school, and Pilipinas Shell Foundation seal the deal.
