The 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲 mourns the passing of 𝗗𝗿. 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝗟. 𝗝𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲, a beloved Internist and Nephrologist, who peacefully joined our Creator on October 25, 2025.
Dr. Jorge was a steadfast pillar of the NKTI community, known not only for her clinical excellence and deep compassion for patients, but also for her unwavering dedication to the welfare, safety, and well-being of the Institute’s staff.
She served as Program Manager of the Renal Disease Control Program (REDCOP–NKTI) from 2000 to 2021 and as a consultant for the NKTI Occupational Health and Safety Unit from February 2015 to October 2024. Through these roles, she championed kidney health promotion, disease prevention, and the holistic well-being of the NKTI workforce.
Beyond NKTI, Dr. Jorge also contributed immensely to medical education and physician training through her leadership in the Philippine College of Physicians (P*P). She served as a Member of the Committee on Residency Training Program (2013–2017), and as the Vice Chair from 2017–2025. She also headed the P*P Subcommittee on Wellness Program, where she advanced initiatives for resident well-being and professional growth.
Her warmth, wisdom, and integrity will forever be remembered by those who had the privilege to work with and learn from her.
The NKTI Division of Internal Medicine, together with the entire NKTI family, extends its deepest sympathies to Dr. Manuel Jorge and family. Dr. Susan Jorge’s legacy of compassion, service, and excellence will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
