Biocare Health Resources, Inc.
Biocare Health Resources Inc. was formally established in 1983, starting as national exclusive distributor of Becton Dickinson (BD), representing product ranges from BD hypodermic, BD blood collection system, Bard-Parker Medical, Clay Adams instruments, and BBL culture media. The exclusive distributorship concluded in 1986, as Biocare expanded its product lines to serve a broader spectrum of the diagnostic industry.
At present, Biocare is considered a major and reliable supplier for Immunology, Blood Banking, Blood Chemistry, Point of Care, Molecular Biology Diagnostics and Immuno-Serological Testing for medical laboratories. Meanwhile, the company continues to search for more reputable suppliers to compliment and improve its product mix for automated Blood Chemistry, Hematology and Blood gas/electrolyte. This continuous drive for growth is consistent with the company’s objective of providing customers a one-stop shop concept for its diagnostic requirements, anchored on the basic thrust of providing quality products at the most reasonable prices.
It is worth noting that in an industry dominated by multinational companies, Biocare is recognized as one of the leading Filipino companies enjoying leadership in some market niches. From its modest beginnings, Biocare has seen itself grow from $500,000 in annual gross sales to more than $5 million and still growing. Biocare also holds the distinction as the first local diagnostic company that is ISO9001-certified by TUV Rheinland.
Management and Staff
Under the able leadership of Mr. Alexander C. Crisostomo, BIOCARE continues to pursue a standard of excellence by continuously providing reliable service, quality products at affordable cost but maintaining a good level of profitability for its employees and the company in general.

The Finance and Administration Divisions are manned by Certified Public Accountants (CPA) who have had special training’s in their fields which include a full understanding of the diagnostic business.
Moreover, the Company maintains an attractive compensation package and numerous fringes considered to be among the best in the industry. It boasts of a liberal profit sharing for its employees and a chance to be a shareholder of the Company. While it thrives under pressure, the interpersonal relationship has never been spoiled but rather has remained familial in nature.
