Ruth Margaret Francisco-Alejandro, MD
Pediatrics
Dr. Alejandro is a pediatrician and has been practicing for 15 years. She earned her pre-medical degree from the University of the Philippines and her degree in Medicine from the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center.
A typical day for Dr. Alejandro starts with conducting rounds before holding her clinic. Despite the unavoidable communication barriers of having babies and children as patients, Dr. Alejandro loves being a pediatrician because of the sense of fulfillment brought about by helping others overcome their illness.
Watching her patients from infants to teenagers is also rewarding. For aspiring doctors, Dr. Alejandro advises them to be completely sure before taking a medical degree. Although it has been said many times before, she reiterates that medicine is more of a vocation than a profession.
