ON February 2018, De Los Santos Medical Center (DLSMC), a member of Manuel V. Pangilinan’s MVP Group of Companies under the Metro Pacific Hospital Holdings Inc. (MPHHI) banner, launched brand new state-of-the-art Catheterization Laboratory Unit.

Cardiovascular disease or CVD (disorders of the heart and blood vessels) remains one of the leading causes of deaths both in the Philippines and around the world. The most common CVD is coronary artery disease or heart disease. It is important for Filipinos to understand the importance of heart health, take the appropriate preventive measures, and have access to quality diagnosis and treatments.
