The ICT Unit has also been instrumental in the successful accreditation drive of the schools in UPTH—supplying manpower, service and expertise where needed.

Departments like Surgery and Internal Medicine depend on the ICT Unit for the conduct of their Ground Rounds (where academic presentations are made for peer review). The ICT Unit renders virtual capabilities, proper formatting of slides and public address features.

The success of the Ground Rounds of Surgery department has inspired the tradition of UPTH Hospital Ground Rounds—which continues to bring frontline knowledge to the entire hospital community.

 Facilities:
