Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of welcoming three highly respected clinicians from the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) to Perimed’s headquarters in Stockholm. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Benedict Valdez <\/strong>(Director of the Institute of Emergency Trauma and Critical Care), Dr. Jeffrey Ramos <\/strong>(Section head of the Center for Hyperbaric, Diving Medicine and Difficult wounds), and Dr. Johnny Perez <\/strong>(Vice Chairman of the Department of Emergency Medicine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three physicians were in Stockholm for EMS 2025, the European Congress for pre-hospital emergency care \u2014 a three-day event that brings professionals from around the world together to exchange knowledge on emergency response and trauma care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Southern Philippines Medical Center, located in the City of Davao, is one of the largest government hospitals in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their visit, we learned about SPMC\u2019s exemplary approach to limb-saving and the protocol they have developed to prioritize patient outcomes and optimize workflow in the emergency and trauma unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you\u2019ll get a glimpse into how they do it \u2014 and how they rely on our instruments to make it possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many other countries, the primary healthcare system in the Philippines is underdeveloped, unevenly distributed, and often bypassed due to limited access to resources and a lack of public trust. This places a significant burden on emergency and trauma departments, which are often the first and only point of care. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
