ASEAN Expansion: Protecting medical devices and digital health solutions across Southeast Asia’s growing $12B+ healthcare market.

Academic Tech Transfer & VC: Unlocking foreign venture funding and structuring cross-border licensing deals for university spin-offs.

How do you fix a public healthcare system completely fragmented by decades of decentralization? 🗺️🇵🇭

True operational efficiency isn't just about building state-of-the-art facilities; it requires systemic architecture, localized agility, and macro-level financing. Even for those who do not closely follow the Philippines, this episode tackles a deeply fascinating and universally relevant topic from a global health perspective.

In our latest episode of the Heal Venture Lab podcast, Jaemin Park sits down with the Secretary of Health for the Philippines, Dr. Ted Herbosa, to trace his extraordinary journey from a trauma surgeon at the Philippine General Hospital to the global stage as the President of the World Health Assembly in Geneva.

We dive deep into:
🔹 The Devolution Framework: Navigating structural fragmentation left behind by the 1992 Local Government Code and building parallel grant-giving systems.
🔹 Bucas Urgent Care Centers: The tactical blueprints behind scaling 63+ ambulatory clinics to shift primary care reliance away from overloaded tertiary ERs.
🔹 The Geopolitics of Financing: How the landmark implementation of health and sin taxation became a global case study for self-sustainable health economies.
🔹 South-South Collaboration: Re-engineering talent metrics to balance domestic demands with global migration flows amidst an anticipated 11-million health worker shortage by 2028.

As emerging economies navigate rising demographic and financial pressures, the future belongs to systems that can seamlessly tie global health diplomacy directly to last-mile ex*****on.

“Pharmacists are trained as drug experts—so why are they still the last voice in decisions on pricing, regulation, and access?” 🏥⚖️

In HVL Podcast Ep. 5, we sit down with Nikko Lim to unpack a critical issue: the pharmacy profession in the Philippines is at a crossroads.

Despite their deep expertise across the entire pharma value chain—from dispensing and patient education to policy, regulation, and access—pharmacists are still underutilized where it matters most: strategy and decision-making.

We explore:

The shift from clinical roles to public health impact
Why pharmacists are often excluded from conversations on pricing and accessibility
How they can play a bigger role in improving healthcare access across provinces

If you’re a pharmacist, student, policymaker, or healthcare builder—this conversation is for you.

The future of healthcare will benefit from bringing pharmacists more meaningfully into strategic conversations.

Our recent trip in the rural region of BARRM shows that we still have a lot of grounds to cover for rural health for women and children. Important to ensure the benefit of investment trickles down to the ground, balancing the social and financial return for the investors. We are developing a wider dealflow with the ability to go deep in the healthcare value chain.

Our managing partner Dr. Jaemin Park made a trip to Basilan island at the southwestern tip of the Philippines near Malaysia at the invitation from Zuellig Family Foundation.
