Olivia Salamanca

Olivia Salamanca (1 July 1889 – 11 July 1913) was a Filipino physician who trained in the United States at the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and was the second female physician from the Philippines.

Her father, Jose Salamanca, was a pharmacist[3] and the founder of a private school in Cavite.

She spent a year in Saint Paul, Minnesota, before enrolling in the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania.

She was one of the charter members and the first secretary of the Philippine Anti-Tuberculosis Society, which was founded in 1910; later that year, she was diagnosed with tuberculosis herself.
