Metro Pacific Hospitals Holdings Inc., the first and largest private hospital group in the Philippines, plans to more than double its network over the next seven to eight years.
Metro Pacific Hospitals president Augusto Palisoc said during the brand equity launch Wednesday the group aimed to expand its network to 40 hospitals from 19. This will add about 2,000 beds to its portfolio.
Metro Pacific Hospitals has 19 premiere hospitals, two healthcare colleges, 20 outpatient care centers and six provincial RT cancer centers with a total capacity of 3,800 beds, serving about 4 million patients a year.
Metro Pacific Investments Corp. chairman Manuel Pangilinan said in the same event the hospital group was also aiming to enhance efficiencies to make services affordable to a greater number of Filipinos.
“We will not just expand our menu of services, we will find efficiencies to make our services affordable. We will not just provide quality hospital care, we will make our services accessible to a greater number of our people—by building primary care chains and deploying digital apps for teleconsultations,” Pangilinan said.
