SPMC became the first government hospital in the Philippines to perform Stereotactic Radiosurgery.
On Monday, February 9, 2026, SPMC performed its first-ever Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). The "No-Knife" Technology. Using the Elekta Versa HD, SPMC can now destroy tumors (brain, spine, and lungs) using ultra-precise radiation beams instead of a scalpel. This means no incisions, no blood, and no anesthesia.
The procedure boasts a 97% to 100% success rate for small, well-defined tumors, targeting them with sub-millimeter accuracy while sparing healthy tissue.
The future of Philippine healthcare has arrived, and it started right here in Davao City.
