BDO Unibank, Inc. (BDO) provided financial support to The Medical City (TMC) enabling it to extend its healthcare services to more Filipinos. This funding was essential in ensuring the hospital’s continued operations and navigate the financial challenges posed by the pandemic.
The unprecedented surge of patients during the COVID-19 crisis strained healthcare facilities. This experience strengthened TMC’s commitment to broaden its services and address the diverse healthcare needs of the community.
With financial backing from BDO, TMC was able to expand its network, now operating four hospitals across various provinces in addition to its flagship hospital in Pasig City. This growth includes sixty stand-alone clinics throughout Metro Manila, Luzon, and Visayas, along with a hospital in Guam.
From serving 500,000 outpatients annually at its flagship hospital, TMC has significantly extended its reach. By the end of 2023, TMC has served about 2.3 million outpatients, reinforcing its mission to making healthcare accessible to Filipinos.
Looking forward, TMC plans to harness Artificial Intelligence (AI) to promote personalized healthcare, optimize its operations, and shift its focus from disease management to prevention. These initiatives aim to cement TMC's position as a leading healthcare provider in the country.
"For over a decade, BDO has been a steadfast partner, understanding and supporting our needs. During the COVID-19 outbreak, BDO's backing was vital in allowing TMC to continue serving those in need and supporting our dedicated staff. This partnership has enabled TMC to extend our brand of care to more patients and provide employment opportunities in the communities we serve," said Dr. Eugene F. Ramos, TMC President and Group CEO.
BDO recognizes the critical role of healthcare in building resilient communities. In line with its vision for a sustainable future, BDO is committed to providing essential financing to key sectors, including healthcare, to improve the quality of life and well-being of Filipinos.
