Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center
VICENTE
SOTTO MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER is a General; Tertiary Medical
Center; Teaching / Training Medical Facility owned by the
Philippine Government. It aims to provide health care services
that are available, affordable, accessible, and acceptable
to all regardless of social status.
Its operation started as early as 1911 as Hospital Del Sur
and was formally established on April 11, 1913. It was through
Republic Act 2725 that granted its legal status on January
12, 1913. The name was then changed to Southern Islands
Hospital. With only 30 beds at its inception, it then became
350 beds when it was upgraded to a Medical Center in 1984.
This institution has continued to grow, develop, and improve
its services responsive to the changing need of the community.
After 84 years of operation, Republic Act 7528 was approved
on May 21, 1992, legalizing the change of its name to Vicente
Sotto Memorial Medical Center. Shortly after this, another
law was approved increasing the bed capacity to 400 (R.
A. 7588 dated June 1, 1992).
Its been a dream of this institution to expand and improve
its services offered to conform with the standards of these
days and to cope with the increasing number of people sought
for care. This dream is not far from reality when the copy
of Republic Act 8658 was received authorizing the operation
of 800 beds last June 22, 1998.
