Tandag City, Philippines – July 03, 2024
North Eastern Mindanao State University (NEMSU) has taken a significant step toward transforming healthcare education with the groundbreaking of its College of Medicine, marking a new era for medical training in Surigao del Sur and beyond. With a Php 95 million investment, the six-story medical building (Phase 1) will serve as a hub for premier healthcare education. The facility is designed to foster the development of skilled healthcare practitioners who will cater to the needs of the local community, providing accessible medical education to students from diverse backgrounds.
A key aspect of this initiative is NEMSU’s partnership with Adela Serra Ty Memorial Medical Center (ASTMMC), which will serve as the base hospital for the program. This collaboration will provide medical students with essential hands-on experience in real-world healthcare settings. The partnership underscores NEMSU's commitment to producing top-notch healthcare professionals trained to serve the Surigaonon community.
