Dear fellow doctors,
The department of surgery of WVSUMC would like to thank you for the surgical supplies you have sent us. All of these stuff will be of great help to our charity cases here. At present, we have increased number of beds at the SLR serving 60 patients. The first batch of goods you have sent us was put to good use and a lot of our indigent patients benefitted from them. We are very grateful of your deeds. We hope that God will bless you in return.
If it's not too much to ask from you guys, we would like to request from you old books and journals that you might just be throwing away. Mahal daan ang international/internet subscription . With the fast advancement of technologies, the residents would like to be abreast with trends from abroad. Thanks for all the help you have extended to the West Visayas State University family...
God bless Alumni, USA!
