MANILA, Philippines — Patients suffering from heart and vascular diseases in the Davao Region will now be able to get diagnostic services and treatment without traveling far distances with the inauguration of the new state-of-the-art hybrid Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory or CathLab of the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) in Davao City.

The hybrid CathLab, the first of its kind in the country, is capable of providing patients with CT Scan, cardio diagnosis and angiogram, all in one place.
