THE MEDICAL CITY NETWORK

Reaching Out to the Nation and to the World

Premier health institution The Medical City ( TMC ) continues to expand its national and global footprint with four provincial hospitals and 37 clinic sites in 34 locations in Metro Manila and in select provinces in the Philippines .

TMC has also taken its brand into the global arena through the ownership and operation of Guam Regional Medical City ( GRMC ), the first and only private hospital in Guam , and the establishment of ambulatory clinics in the Gulf Cooperation Council ( GCC ) countries .
GRMC is a 130-bed tertiary level hospital that will offer world-class health services tailored to the needs of the island and the rest of the Micronesia Region .
“ Our proximity , affordability and cultural similarity make TMC-Main an attractive and cost-effective alternative to receiving treatment on the US mainland ,” said Dr . Alfredo R . A . Bengzon , TMC President and CEO .
In its pursuit to provide high-quality healthcare to the large and growing population of Filipinos in GCC countries , TMC has partnered with the KAPICO group , a leading player in the automotive , healthcare , hospitality , and lifestyle sectors in the Middle East , to establish a network of ambulatory care and diagnostic centers , similar to the TMC Clinics in the Philippines .
The first clinic was established in Dubai in October 2015 also this year having over 700,000 Filipinos in residence , many of whom are professionals and hold managerial positions ,
and all with access to some form of health insurance . Its vibrant and investor-friendly economy further commends Dubai as the optimal maiden site .
The clinics offer multi-specialty consultations , diagnostic services , day surgery and pharmacy . The vision is to replicate the Dubai model in Saudi Arabia , Oman , Qatar , Bahrain and Kuwait .
In the Philippines , the four provincial hospitals are TMC Iloilo , TMC Clark , TMC South Luzon , and TMC Pangasinan .
TMC Iloilo was inaugurated in 2009 . TMC Clark formally opened to serve patients in Central Luzon in January 2015 .
TMC South Luzon , formerly known as Southern Luzon Hospital and Medical Center ( SLHMC ), was launched in October 2015 . TMC Pangasinan , the latest addition to the TMC network , unveiled plans for its expansion in December 2015 . Renovation and construction are expected to be completed in 2018 .
Last year , three more TMC clinics were opened and they are located in Regis-Katipunan , SM Light Mall and in SM San Mateo . The opening of the new clinics brings them closer to the target of opening 50 clinics in 2017 when TMC celebrates its 50th year .
“ With all these developments , we can stake our claim as having the largest healthcare network in the country ,” Dr . Bengzon said .
