PERSONAL LIFE

Fe Del Mundo (November 27, 1911 - August 6, 2011) was a Filipino pediatrician. The first woman
admitted as a student of the Harvard Medical School,
[1][2]
she founded the first pediatric hospital in the
Philippines.
[3]
Her pioneering work in pediatrics in the Philippines in an active medical practice that spanned
8 decades
[2][4]
won her international recognition, including the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Public Service in
1977. In 1980, she was conferred the rank and title of National Scientist of the Philippines while in 2010, she
was conferred the Order of Lakandula.

CAREER
Del Mundo returned to the Philippines in 1941, shortly before the Japanese invasion of the country later that
year. She joined the International Red Cross and volunteered to care for children-internees then detained at
the University of Santo Tomasinternment camp for foreign nationals.
[6]
She set up a makeshift hospice within
the internment camp, and her activities led her to be known as "The Angel of Santo Tomas".
[11]
After the
Japanese authorities shut down the hospice in 1943, Del Mundo was asked by Manila mayor Len G. Guinto,
Sr. to head a children's hospital under the auspices of the city government. The hospital was later converted
into a full-care medical center to cope with the mounting casualties during the Battle of Manila, and would be
renamed the North General Hospital (later, the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center). Del Mundo would
remain the hospital's director until 1948.
[12]
Del Mundo joined the faculty of the University of Santo Tomas,
then the Far Eastern University in 1954. She likewise established a small medical pediatric clinic to pursue a
private practice.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO SCIENCE
Del Mundo was noted for her pioneering work on infectious diseases in Philippine communities. Undeterred
by the lack of well-equipped laboratories in post-war Philippines, she would not hesitate to send specimens
or blood samples for analysis abroad.
[12]
In the 1950s, she pursued studies on dengue fever, a common
malady in the Philippines of which little was then yet known.
[12]
Her clinical observations on dengue, and the
findings of research she later undertook on the disease are said to "have led to a fuller understanding of
dengue fever as it afflicts the young".
[5]
She authored over a hundred articles, reviews and reports in medical
journals
[5]
on such diseases as dengue, polio and measles.
[16]
She also authored "Textbook of Pediatrics", a
fundamental medical text used in Philippine medical schools.
[17]

Del Mundo was active in the field of public health, with special concerns towards rural communities. She
organized rural extension teams to advise mothers on breastfeeding and child care.
[11]
and promoted the idea
of linking hospitals to the community through the public immersion of physicians and other medical




personnel to allow for greater coordination among health workers and the public for common health
programs such as immunization and nutrition.
[17]
She called for the greater integration of midwives into the
medical community, considering their more visible presence within rural communities. Notwithstanding her
own devout Catholicism,
[2][5][11]
she is an advocate of family planning and population control.
[11]

Del Mundo was also known for having devised an incubator made out of bamboo,
[17]
designed for use in rural
communities without electrical power.

CAREER
Maria Orosa y Ylagan is a Filipino food technologist, pharmaceutical chemist, humanitarian and war
heroine.
[1]


CONTRIBUTIONS TO SCIENCE
Maria Orosa y Ylagan experimented with foods native to the Philippines and formulated food products like
calamansi nip, a desiccated and powdered form of calamansi that could be used to make calamansi juice, and
a powdered preparation of soya-beans called Soyalac, a "magic food" preparation which helped save the lives
of thousands of Filipinos, Americans, and other nationals who were held prisoner in different Japanese
concentration camps during World War II.With her knowledge of local food properties, Orosa also made
contributions in the culinary realm and taught proper preservation methods for native dishes such
as adobo, dinuguan, kilawin and escabeche.
