Our Story
Caraga Regional Hospital is located in Surigao City, on the northeastern tip of the Philippine island of Mindanao. The hospital is one of at least four hospitals serving the area including Saint Paul University Hospital, Miranda Family Hospital and Surigao Medical Center all are located within 1 1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) of each other on National Road, which leads from the city proper south to the city airport.[1]
In 1941 the Philippine Commonwealth government appropriated money to establish a hospital in Surigao. However, in 1942 Japan seized control of the Philippines from the United States, disrupting plans to build the hospital. In 1948, after independence was achieved, construction began on what was to become Surigao Provincial Hospital. The building was completed at the end of 1949 and was opened in January 1950 with a capacity of twenty-five beds.
The hospital was expanded and the number of beds increased in 1958 to fifty beds. The hospital continued to grow to seventy-five beds and in 1970 it grew to 100 beds. The current number of beds, 150, was authorized in 1975. In 1993 the hospital was devolved by the Philippine government to the province of Surigao del Norte. On February 11, 1997, the hospital was renamed Caraga Regional Hospital.[2]August 1, 1997 Caraga Regional Training Hospital was established and Republic Act 8255 was implemented. Today, Caraga Regional Hospital is continuously upgrading its medical equipments, infrastructure facilities, and personnel component to be an excellent core referral hospital in the Caraga Region.
