Philippine Standard Time:

Dr. Sonia B. Gonzalez swears in as new PCMC Executive Director

Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Francisco T. Duque III on Thursday officiated the oath-taking ceremony of Dr. Sonia B. Gonzalez as the new Executive Director of the Philippine Children’s Medical Center.

The ceremony was conducted virtually and was witnessed by her husband, Mr. Robert A. Gonzalez, members of the PCMC Management Committee, and colleagues from the Nephrology Section.

Prior to her new official designation, Dr. Gonzalez assumed the responsibility as the medical center’s officer-in-charge after former Executive Director, Dr. Julius A. Lecciones, retired last July 2021. And before that, she was the Deputy Executive Director for Medical Services since December 2018 and held other positions in her 25 years of continuous government service.

A graduate of the PCMC Residency and Fellowship Training Program, Director Gonzalez is the first alumna to hold the position of Executive Director since the medical center's inception.

Congratulations from your PCMC family!
