The commitment to develop a regional heart center must be visible in three outcomes: (1) As a cardiac referral center in the region for CV surgery and intervention. (2) Further plans in the 5-year development plan– to standardize training in Basic and Advanced Life Support as an AHA Satellite Training Center. PHC is the only government hospital accredited by the American Heart Association as an International Training Center for Basic and Adult and Pediatric Life Support courses. PHC extends this licence accreditation to the regional hospitals as satellite AHA training centers- by providing Instructor’s training and lending AHA materials and mannequins until the regional hospital acquires their own set of training materials. The cost estimate will be Php 300,000-500,000. To date, Cagayan de Oro will be the first AHA satellite. Instructor’s courses were given last Sept 20-30, 2015. (3) Collaborative researches will be conducted for prevention and wellness activities. These will be intended to convince legislation for prevention of heart disease in the country in the hope of decreasing heart disease in the next 25 years.
