If the largest hospital in the country is Philippine General Hospital, which is public..what is the largest private hospital in the country?

[Waldenstrom]

Could be the Medical City or St. Luke's-BGC.

[manila_eye]

for me the best when it comes to facilities would be asian hospital and medical center in alabang. just love everything there.

what's the bed-capacity of Medical City and St.Lukes?

[zoroethgenre_003]

i just read at the sites of the two hospitals..St.Lukes Medical Center has a 660-bed capacity..

in the contrary, Medical City has 800 bed capacity, 500 hundred in its Nursing Tower 1 and 300 in its Nursing Tower 2..

[zoroethgenre_003]

Visiting almost all of the Websites of Hospitals of the Philippines, I think this is the Top 10 Largest Hospital in the country in terms of bed-capacity:

1. Philippine General Hospital (Manila) - 1,500 bed-capacity
2. AFP Medical Center (Quezon City) - 1,200 bed capacity
3. The Medical City (Pasig) - 800 bed-capacity
Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (Cebu City) - 800-bed capacity
4. Makati Medical Center (Makati) - 717 bed-capacity
5. Dr.Jose Fabella Hospital (Manila) - 700 bed capacity
Veterans Memorial Medical Center (Quezon City) - 700 bed capacity
6. Chung Hua Hospital (Cebu City) - 660 bed capacity
7. St. Luke's Medical Center (Quezon City) - 650 bed capacity
8. Davao Medical Center (Davao City) - 600 bed-capacity
9. Bicol Medical Center (Naga City) - 500 bed capacity
San Lazaro Hospital (Manila) - 500 bed capacity
10.Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center - 450 bed capacity

Is this updated?

[zoroethgenre_003]

yes, i think so..because all the data there were extracted from the websites of hospitals listed therein

[Waldenstrom]

From that list, the Medical City is currently the biggest private hospital in the country in terms of bed capacity. I'm quite surprised that my hospital is in the Top 4. But I believe it will be bigger bec. it's currently undergoing expansion and renovation.

The soon-to-open St. Luke's BGC is humongous! I won't be surprised if it will be at least in the Top 3 in the future.

[zoroethgenre_003]

how huge is the expansion of the Makati Med?

[Waldenstrom]

in terms of bed capacity and floor area, I don't know but just to give you an idea...

MAKATI MEDICAL CENTER


Old Makati Medical Center


New Makati Medical Center (still undergoing renovation/expansion as of the moment)
The New annex building will house the operating room complex, laboratories and diagnostic centers. The circular and rectangular buildings will be used by solely by the inpatients (except for 2nd and 3rd floor of the rectangular-will still be doc's clinics)

The NEW building in front of the ER (small square building) is the Tropical Disease Foundation of the Makati Med. Center.



The rendering of the New MMC:



I'll be posting updated MMC photos in the future. IMO, The New MMC looks PRETTY... The new St. Luke's BGC is boring white and blue but HUGE!!!

ST. LUKE'S MEDICAL CENTER-BGC

3. UST Hospital (Manila) - 812 bed capacity
