The Regional Health Research Summit to be held in Zamboanga City last 19-20 September has been moved to 14-15 November 2013.

The ZCHRD Core group lead by its Chair, Dr. Teresita G. Montaño decided to postpone the said Regional Conference due to the on-going crisis in Zamboanga City.

The summit dubbed with the theme "Advancing Health Sector Capacity through Research & Development" is the most anticipated research conference in the region for 2013 and it would have been graced by over 150 participants from all over Region IX.
