Metro Pacific Health (MPH), the largest group of private hospitals in the Philippines, announced Thursday the acquisition of 94.2-percent share in Antipolo Doctors Inc., the owner and operator of Antipolo Doctors Hospital (ADH).
ADH, situated along Manuel L. Quezon Extension in Antipolo City, Rizal province, is a level 2-ready facility with 77 beds. Since it was established in 1992 by an enterprising group of 11 doctor-founders, ADH maintained a record of medical proficiency.
Primarily serving the healthcare needs of Antipolo City, the hospital’s reach also spans various areas in Rizal province such as Taytay, Teresa and Angono, driven by a pool of over 200 physicians.
MPH said the acquisition marks its inaugural hospital in Rizal, the country’s most densely populated province.
“Guided by a compass that points towards sustainability, accessibility and affordability, Metro Pacific Health remains unyielding in its commitment to deliver excellent and compassionate healthcare services to the Filipino populace. We will continue to expand so we can reach out and address the healthcare needs of Filipinos all across the country, and this latest inclusion is further testament to that commitment,” said MPH vice chairman and president Augusto Palisoc Jr.
MPH said addressing the healthcare gaps in such a vital region amplifies its dedication to fortify the nation’s health landscape. It said that as the province continues to grow and evolve, it would ensure quality medical care is within reach of every resident.
Moving forward, ADH also holds potential golden avenues for growth. Plans are already underway for an expansive renovation of its Emergency Room and Operating Rooms, and the introduction of a new Out-Patient Care Center. With these envisioned expansions and improvements, ADH will be able to increase its capacity to serve Rizal’s burgeoning population.
The investment makes ADH the 22nd hospital under the expanding Metro Pacific Health umbrella. MPH solidifies its stance as the largest group of private hospitals in the country, including Makati Medical Center, Asian Hospital and Medical Center, Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Riverside Medical Center and Davao Doctors Hospital.
The MPH network also consists of 26 outpatient care centers, two allied health colleges and centralized laboratory Medi Linx Laboratory.
