Metro Pacific Health Corp. is closing in on the 5,000-bed mark after acquiring two hospitals south of Manila, further strengthening its position as the country’s largest private hospital network.

The Manuel V. Pangilinan-led group completed its investment in United Doctors of St. Camillus de Lellis Hospital and Medical Center and United Doctors of St. Camillus de Lellis Mabini General Hospital in Batangas, expanding its portfolio to 31 facilities.

Growing healthcare footprint

The latest acquisition lifts Metro Pacific Health’s nationwide capacity to about 4,800 beds, backed by 12,500 doctors and 24,000 healthcare workers serving around 5.2 million patients each year.

The Batangas deal also completes the group’s presence across the CALABARZON region and marks its 19th and 20th provincial hospital partnerships.

Expansion continues

“We are deeply grateful for the continuing trust of hospital owners and doctors nationwide who have chosen to partner with Metro Pacific Health,” said Metro Pacific Health president Augie Palisoc Jr.

He said the partnership will help expand healthcare services in Batangas while allowing the hospitals to benefit from the group’s nationwide network and operational expertise.

The latest acquisition extends Metro Pacific Health’s 17-year expansion strategy, bringing its portfolio to 31 hospitals that include Makati Medical Center, Asian Hospital and Medical Center, Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Davao Doctors Hospital, and Riverside Medical Center.
