The Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) is a tertiary government hospital with a 1500-bed capacity located in the center of Davao City. It is an accredited training institution of 13 different medical specialties, including dermatology. Within the hospital grounds are the Mindanao Heart Institute, a main building for admitted patients, a state-of-the-art ER complex, a separate OB ER station, and a building dedicated to providing out-patient services donated by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) which houses the Department of Dermatology outpatient clinic.
The Department of Dermatology was established in 1996 — the first and only in existence in the Visayas and Mindanao regions. The department has been given full accreditation status by the Philippine Dermatological Society Accreditation Board from 2005 up to the present.
