DAVAO DOCTORS Hospital (DDH) has opened its upgraded operating room (OR) complex, located at the third floor, which cost P200 million in investments, including new equipment for advanced surgical procedures. We have the most advanced OR (in Mindanao) and very competitive and at par all over the world. We have upgraded the system for the minimally invasive surgery… and it can perform very complicated surgical procedures,” Dr. Manuel R. Garcia, chairman of the DDH Department of Surgery, said in a press conference. Mayeth A. Apao, nursing services director, said the new and advanced technology they now have for minimally invasive procedures are the same as those available in Singapore hospitats. The new OR facility has eight operating theaters, including one for cardio vascular procedures. DDH will hold its first Healthcare Innovative Partnership Medical Summit on Sept. 22 to present the OR complex as well as discuss best healthcare practices. — Maya M. Padillo
