Editorial: 21st Century University of the Philippines Health Sciences Center

We are embedding below the scan of an editorial written by Silverio Cabellon, Jr., M.D., a graduate of the University of the Philippines College of Medicine (UPCM), Class of 1972. Dr. Cabellon, Jr. is currently the Chair, Board of Governors of the University of the Philippines Medical Alumni Society in America (UPMASA). The editorial originally appeared in the UPMASA Journal in 2004, but Dr. Cabellon just sent this in to us, and as it is newsworthy and still very current, we are republishing this. The editorial calls for planning for the future of the Health Sciences in the University of the Philippines. Dr. Cabellon now chairs the Ad Hoc Committee for the Development of the 21st Century University of the Philippines Health Sciences Center of UPMASA. With the National Science Complex now about to be finished in U.P. Diliman, Dr. Cabellon proposes that the next project should be the 21st Century Health Sciences Center.
