Historical Background
Until the 1970’s, advances in medical care in the Philippines were centred mainly on a few major urban areas. The majority of the rural communities were left either with no or inadequate manpower resources and facilities. Recognizing the severity of the problem, Dr. Jose G. Tamayo founded the Perpetual Help Education & Health Care Institutions which became one of the forerunners in the decentralization of the Philippine Medical Education and Health Care delivery systems.
