"Our newly built hospital, St. John Paul II Hospital, stands as a testament to progress—a first-class facility gracing the UST campus. While we have made significant progress, St. John Paul II Hospital still lacks essential medical equipment. Without these tools, it cannot function efficiently or provide the level of care our community deserves. As dedicated medical professionals, we understand the impact of well-equipped facilities on patient outcomes. Let us rally together to bridge this gap."
