Introduction
The department of pediatrics was established in 1974 when the hospital who was known then as the Davao del Norte National Hospital apportioned 20 beds for pediatric cases and 8 bed nursery when the hospital’s bed capacity was increased from 20 to 100.
In 1987, the Department started it’s Pediatric Residency Training Program with Dr. Feliciano A. Yamas as the chairman and Dr. Elizabeth P. Derla as the training officer. In 1990, the training program was accredited by the Philippine Pediatric Society. The Department has since invited more consultant staff to help formulate and implement its Pediatric Residency Training Program.
The Department of Pediatrics is an active center for WHO and UNICEF projects, community oriented program such as IMCI, BEMONC, KMC and Breastfeeding program, and this will continue to be among the major thrusts of the department.
