Cebu Hospitals: Perpetual Succour Hospital

Perhaps the article I made about Perpetual Soccour Hospital was not enough to be considered as something to ponder to. But I must say that this is simply one of the elite hospitals in Cebu and is still moving on to medical innovation. After all, some features that included are the electorcardiography, echocardiography, the cardiac catheterization lab, cardiovascular attention among others.

The Perpetual Succour Hospital is not just a simple and catholic medical center, this is actually a regional tertiary as well as training and education health care services, armed with modern technology equipment. For some time now, it has able to install a software combo from a certain Visual Medsys to handle the management information system of the hospital.

Milestones

During the year of 1994, when the Cebu Heart Institute was constructed, Perpetual Succour Hospital initiated the move in providing significant medical development in both education and service. It became the first hospital outside the Philippine-capital, Metro Manila, with innovative diagnostic and interventional services in the field of Non-invasive Diagnostic procedures. Meaning? Perpetual Succour Hospital is on the upper ranks already and it did boast its prowess in handling certain medical procedures like; leading the field in the Surgical Heart method and vascular examination. This of course is another first for a Cebu hospital to have performed the operation of coronary artery bypass graft surgery on the same year.

The Cebu Heart Institute will not be possible, as well as its services and treatments, without the overall dedication of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres, the joint effort of the patrons and sponsors and the blessing of His Eminence Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal.

The new millennium

During the early times of the new millennium, a lot of improvements and advancements were made in Perpetual Succour Hospital. This indeed took the whole facility into reaching new heights as well as maintaining its solid services, only this time, with whole new gadgets and equipments. These new medical tools are utilized to effectively and efficiently give the patients a better recuperation during their stay.

On March 2001, the site of the SPC Medical Arts was torn down to make way to a 7-storey structure that will accommodate the Eye Center, Cebu Cancer Institute, Doctors Clinic and the Advanced Care Rehab. The building is nearby the Cebu Heart Institute.
