Welcome to the Official Website of Office of Research Development!
PCMC has long recognized research as equally vital to service and training in fulfilling
its mission. With the creation of the Research Department Office, now known as the
Office of Research Development (ORD), in 1992, PCMC is determined to transform PCMC
into a leading institution in the country for pediatric research.
The Office of Research Development (ORD) is the outcome of PCMC’s determination to vigorously pursue research as the third prong of its mission to transform the hospital into a leading pediatric institution in the country. It spearheads efforts for research on pediatric health problems of scientific merit and/or of public health importance. ORD is in the forefront to develop at PCMC a culture of research as a tool for problem-solving and decision-making.
Mission
To spearhead the efforts to promote the development of research as an integral part of the institution's service and training responsibilities which are oriented towards its unique role as a tertiary care center devoted to improving the health of Filipino children. Furthermore, this research goal is directed towards pediatric health problems either of great scientific merit of public health importance and in parallel to the national health agenda.
Vision
We envision the Philippine Children's Medical Center (PCMC) as a Research Center dedicated to the optimum health care of Filipino children through basic and clinical research activities that are cross-cutting in the areas of training and service missions of the institution.
