International College of Surgeons Philippine Section: “Tracing its History” |
 |
 |
 |
Originally written by: Rey Melchor F. Santos, MD
Updated by: Jesus C. Sison Jr., MD
Tracing the history and development of the International College of Surgeons-Philippine Section creates a sentimental journey to its origin here in the Philippines. The nostalgia that ensues makes us recollect the tremendous and unselfish efforts and sacrifices which our Filipino founders have given to establish the ICS-Philippine Section.
In 1948, Dr. Gumersindo Garcia Sr., medical director of Mary Johnston Hospital, went to the United States to observe and update his knowledge in surgery. In one of his tours, he visited an old friend, Dr. Max Thorek who was then the medical director of the American Hospital in Chicago, Illinois where his son, Dr. Garcia Jr. was the senior resident in surgery. Dr. Thorek, one of the founding fathers of ICS requested Dr. Garcia Sr. to organize a Philippine Section. When Dr. Garcia arrived in Manila, he started sounding off the request of Dr. Thorek. Hence, the birth of the ICS-Philippine Section.
