History

The V. Luna General Hospital was named after Col. Victoriano Luna who was then Chief of the Medical Service and Adviser to the Chief of Staff. He came up with the idea in 1935 of putting up an Army Station Hospital to address the health service needs of a growing army.
By 1937, Army Engineers started the design conceptualization and construction of Luna's dream. On September 3, 1946, pursuant to Headquarters Philippine Army GO Nr 512, the 1st Philippine Army General Hospital was named "Colonel Victoriano Luna General Hospital" in honor Luna who conceptualized the medical center.
