Bacolod Foot Specialist Hosts International Speakers
We wish to congratulate Dr. Chinkin Coruña (CLMMRH) for greatly contributing to the 75th annual congress of the Philippine Orthopaedic Association! The meeting was held in EDSA Shangri-La Manila last November 13-16, 2024. He moderated a session each for the Philippine Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (now with 28 members!) and the Philippine Orthopaedic Wound Care and Diabetic Limb Society, and maintained a station for the instructional course lecture of the Philippine Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine on ankle ultrasonography.
Most memorable is hosting Prof. Yasuhito Tanaka (Japan), Prof. Chayanin Angthong (Thailand), and Prof. Wong Keng Lin (Singapore) to deliver two lectures each to packed rooms in Manila!
The Philippine Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society continues to grow, forecasting growth beyond 30 members by 2025. We wish to congratulate Dr. Chinkin (CLMMRH) serving as its Vice President. He remains the first officer outside Luzon to be considered for the post. He works with Drs. Jovit Paz (President, POC), Ai Gamboa (Secretary, SLMC), and Chubbers Lopez (Treasurer, DLSUMC).
