SURIGAO CITY — The Philippine Heart Center (PHC) and Caraga Regional Hospital (CRH) launched their 1st Cardiovascular Surgical Mission on June 2026, in Surigao City. The mission provided specialized heart care to one adult and nine pediatric patients, marking a significant step in improving healthcare access in the region. Medical teams from both institutions collaborated to deliver life-saving procedures, demonstrating a shared commitment to quality patient care.
A Milestone in Regional Healthcare Delivery
The surgical mission also represented the fulfillment of PHC's goal to establish a regional heart center in every region of the country. By bringing specialized cardiovascular services to Caraga, the initiative reduces the need for patients to travel outside the region for critical heart procedures. The collaboration between PHC and CRH highlights the importance of partnerships in strengthening the healthcare system and ensuring that quality medical services are accessible to all.
Honoring the Dedication of Healthcare Workers
The success of the mission was made possible through the dedication of surgeons, physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, administrative staff, and partner organizations. Their collective effort reflects the spirit of service and compassion that drives healthcare delivery. By working together, these teams continue to bring hope and healing to patients and their families, reinforcing the shared vision of healthier lives for every Filipino.
