Expanding its array of private hospitals, Metro Pacific Health Corp. (MPH) has acquired its 21st facility.
MPH has obtained a 70.4 percent stake in MCI, a hospital in Cavite serving the cities of Imus and Bacoor and equipped with 90 beds.
Established two decades ago, MCI is a Level 2 hospital that can expand and accommodate up to 120 beds.
Occupying a land area of over a hectare, the hospital is situated on a property that includes roughly 6,000 square meters of unutilized land primarily used for surface parking.
It takes pride in its team of 97 active specialists and attracts visits from 200 doctors.
MPH President, Augie Palisoc Jr., expressed that this marks the company’s foray into the coveted province of Cavite, which has risen to become the country’s second most populous and most densely populated province after Cebu and Rizal, respectively.
The growth can be attributed to industrialization and the influx of overseas Filipino workers and their families over the past few decades.
Dr. Jo Eileen Suzanne Ringler-Pama, the incoming Deputy CEO of MPH, recognized the hospital’s strategic location within a densely populated and fertile market as a significant opportunity.
She eagerly conveyed the company’s determination to leverage MPH’s collective strengths to enhance the patient experience at MCI, aiming to achieve unprecedented levels in Cavite through bolstered management and investments in infrastructure upgrades.
MPH, operating under the leadership of Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan and as part of the Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) conglomerate, holds the distinction of being the largest private hospital group in the Philippines.
Its expansive network encompasses renowned hospitals such as Makati Medical Center, Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Asian Hospital, Manila Doctors Hospital, Marikina Valley Medical Center, De Los Santos Medical Center, Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Commonwealth Hospital, and Jesus Delgado Memorial Hospital in the National Capital Region (NCR).
Beyond the metropolitan area, the MPH group includes Central Luzon Doctors Hospital in Tarlac, Sacred Heart Hospital in Malolos, Calamba Medical Center, Los Banos Doctors Hospital, Riverside Medical Center in Bacolod, Ramiro Community Hospital in Bohol, MJ Santos Hospital in Butuan, Davao Doctors Hospital, St Elizabeth Hospital in General Santos City, Howard Hubbard Hospital in Polomolok, and West Metro Medical Center in Zamboanga. In addition to hospitals, the MPH network comprises 24 outpatient care centers, six provincial cancer radiotherapy centers, two allied healthcare colleges, and one central laboratory.
