With the goal of introducing the country’s national health research repository, HERDIN or Health Research and Development Information Network database, the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) visited various universities and institutions in Bacolod City from November 21-24, 2017. Highlight of the visits was the discussion on how the institution’s respective libraries can be linked to HERDIN and the announcements of the scheduled HERDIN training in the region on 9-11 January 2018.

Among the universities and institutions visited were as follows: Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital, University of St. La Salle, Riverside College, Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod, University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos, and Riverside Medical Center.
