From a Maternity Clinic
to Foundation
Fernandez started as a two-bed maternity clinic in 1948. From the very beginning, Dr Leslie and Dr Lourdes Fernandez were guided by ethical values enshrined in Christian belief and a commitment to unbiased care. In 1991 Dr Evita Fernandez chose to build an institution where every pregnant woman and her newborn would be offered respectful, compassionate, evidence-based care. For decades, the institution has provided compassionate care to all, irrespective of background, resources, and ability to pay.
