"A Miss Medicine is someone who understands what it means to be an Atenean student, who will soon be an Atenean physician. She is someone who carries the weight of the crown with a compassion reminiscent of what Fr. Javier SJ, the founder of Dr. Jose P. Rizal School of Medicine, envisioned: a physician who heals, not just the organs that make up a body, but the totality of a human being."

"Dr. Jose P. Rizal once said, “He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination”. Mr. Medicine 2023 is someone who respects the legacy of Dr. Jose P. Rizal School of Medicine’s history, as he embodies the values of the institution and the physicians who came before him - in the present, future and into the lives of the patients he heals."

Mabuti na ang may alam 🤯🧐

𝐏𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚 is a serious illness that affects the lungs, and it is the leading cause of death among children around the world, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Every year, it is estimated that 1.2 million children under the age of 5 die from 𝐏𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚, which makes up around 18% of all deaths in this age group. Unfortunately, the majority of these deaths occur in countries that have lower income levels.

In the Philippines, 𝐏𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚 is the third most common cause of death for people of all ages, but it is particularly concerning for children under the age of 5. In fact, it is the most common cause of death among this age group in the country.

The highest incidence of 𝐏𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚 is seen in babies who are between 28 days and 12 months old. It is important to understand the severity of this illness, particularly in developing countries, and take appropriate measures to prevent and treat 𝐏𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚.
