The Western Visayas Medical Center (WVMC) began in 1940 as an emergency hospital during World War II and grew into a major regional healthcare facility. It officially became WVMC in 1984 and has since expanded to include specialized services like the Pototan Mental Health Unit and a rehabilitation center. The hospital now serves over four million people in Region VI, offering affordable and comprehensive healthcare. Despite challenges like rising patient numbers, limited resources, and staff shortages, the hospital continues to improve its services and facilities to meet growing community needs.
