Cardinal Santos Medical Center (CSMC)

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Cardinal Santos Medical Center (CSMC) was the fulfillment of Cardinal Rufino Santos’ vision of creating a center that relied on the five fundamental values, that up to now still holds true to the heart of its staff. CSMC’s competitive edge and core strength were birthed in the trial of adversity. In its early incarnation, the Maryknoll sisters founded the hospital as the St. Paul’s Hospital of Manila. When heavy American artillery damaged it during the liberation of the capital during the Second World War, the U.S. War damaged commission awarded recompense to the nuns. A portion of the fund was used to purchase a 3.7 hectare property in what would become the Greenhills West Subdivision of the Ortigas Company Limited. A new version of St. Paul’s was designed and architectural blueprints were laid out. However, the plans were beset by rising costs and post war inflation. The Archdiocese of Manila, headed by then Archbishop Rufino Cardinal Santos, granted assistance to the Sisters. Soon, business realities facilitated the complete transfer of the property and the project to the Archdiocese. The hospital eventually opened its doors in August of 1974. Cardinal Santos had passed away by then. Not long after, the hospital’s Medical Director proposed that St. Paul’s be named in his honor. The proposal was met with unanimous approval. Following tremendous public response, Cardinal Santos became one of the country’s top major medical centers in five years. In 1986, trials— fires on separate occasions that crippled power in the hospital and grilled the newly constructed sixth floor, and labor unrest—threaten to waylay the hospitals success. But the swift and decisive move of the Archdiocese to enter unto a joint Apostolate with the Hospital Managers Incorporated in 1988 now on its 15th year led to the effective resolution of the crucial labor issues by the new management team resulting in revitalized operations and the expansion of the institution’s facilities. It is this that eventually led to the hospital’s transformation into a leader in the country’s medical industry today. With the present management of the HMI Cardinal Santos Medical Center continues to soar high not only to be at par with other medical centers but the best in the land. All that you see today in CSMC is their promise to give you the best in quality care. Cardinal Santos Medical Center (CSMC) has taken the lead role in providing you the best in diagnostics, round the clock caring and setting the standards by continuously acquiring the latest medical technology and introducing the best medical technology in the country.

Makati Medical Center

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

The Makati Medical Center was conceived to be one necessary and important feature in a developer’s plan for a total self-contained community in a suburb slowly shaping up in the South of Manila, in the early and mid-sixties. Then, the price of real estate in the now plush Forbes Park subdivision hovered around the innocuous figure of Php 100.00 per square meter as compared to Tondo’s Php 418.00 to 500.00 per square meter and Sampaloc’s Php 320.00 to 400.00 per square meter. Young folks then danced to the rock music of the Beatles, while the whole country was electrified by the successful launching of Apollo 10 which put the first man on the moon. Then, the prestigious Asian Institute of Management was being put up by the joint effort of the Ateneo University, De La Salle University and the Harvard Business School. The favorite pizza joint (then the only one in the country) was the Plaza Restaurant at the Makati Shopping Center, owned by the owners of the Aristocrat chain. It was about this time when Enrique Zobel, the top man of the Ayala conglomerate, asked three prominent figures in medical practice at that time, to compose the core group of what was to become the leading hospital in the country. Dr. Constantino P. Manahan, a famous OB-Gyne specialist and Dr. Jose Y. Fores , an equally well-known and distinguished surgeon and Dr. Mariano M. Alimurung, a world renowned cardiologist answered Zobel’s call. The following lines are from the recollections of Dr. Carlos L. Sevilla, a founding group member, who became the Vice-Chairman of the Board ad Treasurer and later on the hospital’s Chairman of the Department of Opthalmology, of the years when the Makati Medical Center was just a dream in the minds of its founders. “The dream took root years before its inauguration. Frustrated by the dearth of facilities and technology for modern medical procedures and advanced training in the country, a group of idealist medical professionals got together to pursue a common goal – the establishment of a hospital equipped with the best and the latest in medical facilities and technology, to be manned by the most competent and well-trained medical staff; a hospital which approximates those abroad so that Filipino medical graduates need not go out of the country for advanced training and specialization. That group of medical professional, composed of the country’s more respected medical practitioners, formed MMC’s founding group. “On May 31, 1969, the Makati Medical Center formally opened its doors to the public. To us its founders, that day marked the fulfillment of a dream and the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifices. Even before its tie-up with the Makati Municipal government for the Makati Health Program (MHP), we had our own charity program for the indigents of Makati as well as those form other cities, municipalities and provinces. Some of them pay a minimal amount for medicines, the more indigent ones do not pay anything at all. But definitely, there is no dividing line in the quality of our service; we treat our charity cases in the same manner accorded their pay patients. The Makati Medical Center Health Programs – MMC Charity Program – Computerized Imaging Institute – Industrial Health Clinics – Out Patient Department Charity – Remedios T. Romualdez Memorial – College of Nursing – Tropical Disease Foundation The MAKATI MEDICAL CENTER (MMC) was established by a group of dedicated medical professionals with a common vision to administer medical care of the highest order, and to make MMC the leading provider of health care in the country.
