The PUP Campus expansion and the projected increase in the number of students, faculty and

administrative personnel necessitate a bigger and better health service facility. Thru, a PUP HEALTH
Center is proposed to take care of the promotion and protection of the health of the growing university
community. This facility will conduct a pre-admission health examination for all students enrolling for
the first time. Its main objectives are to discover organic and functional defects which may actually or
potentially reduce the students' effectiveness in college work and to give medical advice as may be
necessary for their early correction and for proper placement in the physical education and military
science classes.

Since the University laid stress in personnel welfare and on strengthening community relations, the
facility also envisioned to serve the medical needs of the faculty and administrative personnel and the
surrounding community. A medical examination for every new personnel will also be conducted in this
center.

The University Health Center will have an out-patient and in-patient department. A general medical
surgical clinic, an eye-ear-nose and throat clinic, a family planning clinic, a clinical laboratory, and X-ray
unit, a dietary clinic and a mental health clinic are provided in the out-patient department. The in-
patient (infirmary) department will initially have 20 beds, complete with emergency operating room,
pharmacy, and ambulance service. The center will be located at the NDC compound. It should be
designed center wide situated such that it can be expanded economically and efficiently if plans for
College of Medicine and Nursing push through.
