One hospital, one message: End TB! ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿซ

EVMC employees and clients proudly joined the call to raise awareness this World Tuberculosis Day by coming together and showing support for a TB-free future. Through unity and advocacy, we remind everyone that TB is preventable and curable.

Together, letโ€™s keep the conversation goingโ€”because awareness saves lives! ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ

In celebration of World Tuberculosis Day (March 24, 2025), EVMC conducted an engaging lay forum led by Ms. Glaiza Perez, TB DOTS Nurse. Patients gained valuable insights about tuberculosisโ€”its causes, prevention, treatment, and the importance of early detection.

Letโ€™s work together to end TBโ€”magpasuri, magpagamot, at mag-TPTodo para protektado! ๐Ÿ’™

The Eastern Visayas Medical Center, together with the EXECOM led by Dr. Joseph Michael Jaro, had the honor of welcoming Atty. Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, Representative of Leyte 1st District, Hon. Jude Acidre of Tingog Party-list, and their team on March 21, 2026.

The visit emphasizes EVMCโ€™s ongoing renovations, with a strong focus on healthcare transformation in Level III Hospital and enhancing its capacity to respond to the growing healthcare needs of the region. Guided by the Medical Center Chief, the visitors were toured through key hospital areas to provide a closer look at ongoing improvements and development initiatives.

These developments underscore EVMCโ€™s steady progress toward becoming a more responsive and fully equipped tertiary hospital. This transformation has been made possible through the steadfast support of Hon. Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, Tingog Party-list, and the Department of Health, whose commitment has been instrumental in advancing the hospitalโ€™s infrastructure and services. With their continued support, the transformation of critical care areas, particularly the Emergency Room (ER), Intensive Care Units (ICUs), Operating Rooms (ORs), and Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), have been made possible.

EVMC has come a long way in enhancing its facilities and services; however, more transformative projects are still in the pipeline to further strengthen the hospitalโ€™s capacity to deliver quality healthcare.

With continued collaboration and support, EVMC moves forward in its mission to deliver accessible, high-quality, and life-saving healthcare for all Filipinos in Eastern Visayas.

Maraming salamat po sa inyong patuloy na suporta para sa mas pinalakas na serbisyong pangkalusugan para sa lahat. ๐Ÿ’™

The Eastern Visayas Medical Center (EVMC) informs the public that its Emergency Room is currently undergoing renovations as part of ongoing efforts to improve patient care and service delivery.

At present, the ERโ€™s authorized bed capacity is limited to 30 patients. Upon completion of the renovations, this capacity is expected to significantly increase, allowing us to better accommodate and respond to the healthcare needs of the community.

We respectfully ask for your understanding and cooperation. We also strongly encourage that only tertiary cases be referred to EVMC.

Thank you for your continued support as we work towards enhancing our services for all!
