I am translating a document that features the name of a hospital foundation: Fundación Santos y de la Garza Evia I.B.P. Although this is a proper name and does not require translation, I'm trying to find out what exactly "I.B.P." stands for. Is this an acronym for a type of business (similar to "S.A.")?
