ASTMMC as the base hospital for the college to provide the medical students
with hands-on clinical experience in a real-world healthcare setting.
The ceremony was attended
by House Committee Chairperson Momo on Public Works and Highways, Gov.
Alexander Pimentel, DPWH 1st District Engineering Office Chief Ruel Bantugan,
and Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Education Supervisor II
Fredrick Amihan. They highlighted the project's significance in
addressing the region's healthcare needs and fostering the development of
future medical professionals.
The new College of Medicine Building is a testament to NEMSU's dedication to advancing education and improving community health. The facility is expected to be operational soon offering modern and advanced amenities and a robust curriculum designed to train the next generation of doctors. (NGPB, PIA-Surigao del Sur)
