To our dear Taclobanons, Ormocanons, Leyteños, and Samarnons, please remain vigilant even though the worst of the storm and heavy winds from Super Typhoon Uwan seem to have passed our area.
​Your safety remains the number one priority.

​🚨 Eastern Visayas: Safety Pointers Post-Storm
​The danger isn't over just because the rain has stopped. We must stay alert for secondary hazards.

​Wait for the Official "All Clear": Do not leave your shelter or return home from evacuation until local authorities (LGU/Barangay) officially announce it is safe.

​Beware of Floods and Hazards:
​NEVER wade or drive through floodwaters. They may be contaminated or hide hazards like open manholes.

​Assume all downed power lines are LIVE. Stay far away and report them immediately to your power company or local officials.

​Check Your Home:
​Inspect your house for structural damage before fully re-entering.
​Turn off and unplug appliances. Have a qualified electrician check your wiring if you experienced flooding.
​Check for gas leaks (smell for sulfur) and evacuate immediately if detected.

​Water and Food Safety:
​Boil all drinking water for at least 3 minutes until local authorities confirm the public supply is safe.
​Discard any perishable food that was not properly refrigerated during the power outage.

​💛 Thoughts and Prayers for Luzon
​Our hearts and minds are with our family, friends, and colleagues in Luzon, especially those in the Bicol Region and Northern/Central Luzon, who are currently facing the direct path of Super Typhoon Uwan.

​Please prepare, be safe, and pray.

​Pointers for those in Luzon:
​Seek Shelter NOW: If you are in a mandatory evacuation area (especially those under Signal No. 5, 4, or 3), evacuate immediately to a sturdy, designated shelter.

​Secure Your Home: Protect windows with tape or board, and bring all outdoor items (plants, furniture, etc.) indoors.

​Charge Everything: Ensure all cell phones, power banks, and flashlights are fully charged now before power outages occur.

​Prepare Your Emergency Kit: Have a "Go Bag" ready with food, water, medicine, a radio, and important documents.

​Keep monitoring official news channels (PAGASA, LGU, NDRRMC) for the latest updates and advisories.

​Stay safe, everyone. We are praying for your protection.

A Triumph of Compassion: Eastern Visayas Medical Center Records First Multiple Organ Donation

TACLOBAN CITY, August 20, 2025. The Eastern Visayas Medical Center proudly announces a historic milestone for the region's healthcare system: its first-ever successful multiple organ donation and retrieval procedure. This landmark event, which took place on August 19, 2025, marks a new chapter in the pursuit of life-saving medical interventions in Eastern Visayas.

This remarkable act of generosity, even in the face of profound grief, will grant new hope and a renewed lease on life to individuals suffering from end-stage renal disease, liver disease and corneal blindness.
This achievement is a testament to the power of human compassion. The donor's ultimate act of kindness and the family's courageous decision to donate their loved one's organs highlight a profound sense of altruism.

The EVMC family extends its deepest gratitude and admiration to the donor and their family for this invaluable gift. Their selflessness is an inspiration to us all and a shining example of the Filipino spirit of "bayanihan"—of being a hero to a fellow person.

The success of this delicate and complex procedure was the result of a coordinated effort by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals. EVMC would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who was instrumental in making this a reality:
* The skilled surgeons and medical team from EVMC and NKTI who meticulously performed the retrieval operations.
* The organ donation coordinators and nurses who managed the sensitive process of family communication and consent.
* The entire hospital staff, from the Intensive Care Unit to the operating rooms, whose dedication and professionalism ensured the smooth ex*****on of the procedure.
* The The Philippine Network for Organ Sharing (PhilNOS) and the Eye Bank Foundation of the Philippines for their invaluable support and collaboration.

This event represents a significant step forward for Eastern Visayas and strengthens the region’s capacity to provide specialized medical care. It is our sincere hope that this success will encourage more individuals to consider the life-changing impact of organ donation. By becoming a donor, one has the power to give the greatest gift of all: the gift of life and the chance to see the world anew.
