OUR STORY
It started out as a vision. In order to fill in the need for a training hospital for the junior interns of the West Visayas State University (WVSU) College of Medicine, the Philippine government bought an ailing hospital in the year 1985 and renamed it as West Visayas State University Hospital.
HISTORY
Over the years, our beloved department is home to internists in training who have made her proud. Local and regional contests were topped. Several research papers had been published locally and even internationally. Some residents had even attended international lectures because of this. The attitude of learning remains strong and prevalent.
