Historical Background

The St. Paul Surigao University Hospital (SPSUH) is a brainchild of Sr. Marie Rosanne Mallillin, SPC, and the president of St. Paul University Surigao. Due to the increasing number of morbidity and mortality of common-breed illnesses and the absence of well-equipped and furnished health care facility, were some of the reasons why this hospital came to life, a dream come true.

Ground breaking of the hospital site was blessed, officiated by His Excellency Bishop Antonietto Cabahog, DD.
