The Minimally Invasive Surgery Training Center is one of Asia’s MIS Facilities on advanced surgery and the first of its kind in the Philippines. It is designed to allow medical experts, here and abroad, access to modern surgical facilities and technology and to enable learning sessions facilitated by internationally acclaimed medical professionals.

MIS has improved today’s average health outcome with the promise of less post-operative pain and scarring, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery time, and better quality of life. It has gained popularity as a preferred treatment option over traditional surgery.

The MIS Center will provide a virtual learning environment leveraging cutting-edge facilities, systems, and technology. It is the only facility in the country that can transmit live video feed surgery from CSMC to any part of the country.
