The concept for the International Medical Center (IMC) started in the early 1990s with the vision of Sheikh Ahmed Hasan Fitaihi, the CEO and Chairman of the Fitaihi Company, who saw the need, the value, the importance, and the blessings in building a hospital. Sheikh Ahmed Fitaihi initiated and continued to support the project until the incorporation of the company. At the same time his son, Dr. Walid Fitaihi, was completing medical school at George Washington University in the United States and starting his internship and residency at Harvard Medical School. During the time that Dr. Fitaihi was doing his fellowship at Harvard Medical School and completing his Masters Degree in Health Policy and Management, he supervised the first marketing and financial studies of the International Medical Center. Soon a contract was signed with a team of architects from both Boston and Saudi Arabia. At that time Dr. Wael Kaawach joined the IMC project. Both Dr. Fitaihi and Dr. Kaawach were practicing physicians and clinical instructors at Harvard Medical School in Boston at the time, they were able to further develop the mission and vision of the IMC as well as overseeing the completion of the design of the hospital, signing with Joint Commission International, and achieving a partnership with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. In the mid-1990s architectural designing commenced as well as the establishment of a partnership between the IMC and The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. During the late 1990s, the IMC operated as a small start-up office, working in collaboration with some of the best architectural, design, and contracting firms in the United States. Advisors and consultants from varied areas joined in the take-off operations. Upon the completion of architectural and design plans , in 2002, business operations moved from Boston to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and several more individuals joined the management team. The IMC team grew and operations continued. The momentous occasion of ground-breaking for the IMC took place in Jeddah in January of 2003. With the presence of the Chairman and CEO of The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Dr. Floyd Loop, the ceremony was all the more celebratory. IMC now stand on the cusp of a new and exciting era. As we are witnessing all their dreams and hard work converted to reality, they take pride in all what they promised in terms of providing a unique and comprehensive service to those in need.

For close to a century, St. Luke’s Medical Center has provided its patients with the best professionals and the most advanced medical equipment and technology. Founded in 1903 by American Episcopal missionary Charles Brent, it started as a 9-bed ward and dispensary named Mosher Hall. In 1907, it became the University Hospital to avoid confusing it with the newly opened University of the Philippines Hospital. Over the next three decades, bed capacity at St. Luke’s Hospital increased to 140 beds. With the Japanese forces occupation during World War II, the hospital’s name was changed to Nippon Byoin. In 1959, St. Luke’s Hospital moved to its new site in Cathedral Heights. Already a 190-bed hospital by then, it included a neuro-psychiatric unit, cobalt therapy unit, and physiotherapy department, all new health services for the community. The era of St. Luke’s as a church-owned institution ended in August 1975. Stewardship was transferred to a board of trustees, and St. Luke’s became an independent, non-sectarian, not-for-profit, non-stock corporation with income continuously reverting back to the hospital for acquisition of world-class equipment, funding of medical research, and providing charity medical care. In line with this, the institution was renamed yet again in 1984 to St. Luke’s Medical Center. In 1991, the hospital was cited by the Asian Institute of Management and the World Executive Digest in their First Annual Management Awards as one of Asia’s Outstanding Companies: “A spectacular growth that has not come by accident, but by design: the product of thoughtful planning, bold-opportunity-seeking, careful weighing of risks, and controlled execution …” Today, a visit to St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City is a crash course in modern medicine. It provides the same medical services and care available in the best health institutions around the world. Nestled atop a hilly terrain, the 650-bed SLMC facility today introduces you to its nine (9) institutes (Heart, Radiology, Pathology, Pulmonary Medicine, Ophthalmology, Neurosciences, Digestive Diseases, Cancer, and Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine), thirteen (13) departments (Surgery, Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Anesthesiology, Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Emergency Medicine, Out-Patient Care, Radiation Oncology, Nuclear Medicine, Legal Medicine & Jurispudence, and Dentistry & Oral Surgery) and three (3) centers (Geriatric, Pain Management, and Stone and Prostate Treatment). Adjacent are the Medical Arts Building Complex and the Cathedral Heights Building Complex, where over 1,000 hospital-affiliated medical consultants see outpatients in more than 500 private clinics. Also located within the compound is the St. Luke’s College of Medicine – William H. Quasha Memorial. Dedicated to excellence, SLMC has the perfect synergy of state-of-the-art-technology and first-class human resources in its continuing pursuit to provide high quality health care and service to the country, maintaining its lead in the hospital industry, and living up to its credo “World Class Technology and Expertise in Caring Hands”.

Founded in 1949 by Dr. Jose V. de Los Santos Sr., known as the father of Philippine Orthopedics, the De Los Santos Clinic has planted its roots in health care through years of treatment and rehabilitation of patients suffering from bone anomalies. Dr. JV de Los Santos was complimented by a staff of about 20, and facilitated by an operating room, x-ray, laboratory, pharmacy and 30 beds. The clinic has become a landmark in the Espana, Quezon City area when the de Los Santos’ mission of giving medical attention to more people led to the expansion of the clinic in 1973 into the De Los Santos General Hospital. The hospital was capable of accommodating 150-bedridden patients in Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Medicine and Surgery. The hospital diversified into education and training by opening a school of Nursing & Midwifery in 1975 and became a medical training institution in 1985, both of which have graduated notable professionals in the health care field today. The growth of the institution was continuous due to its dynamic leadership spearheaded by the enterprising wife of Dr. JV, Pacita Villanueva, and its highly qualified medical staff. Today, the company is a medical center offering complete medical service and further expands through constant investment in its facilities and people. Despite its significant growth, the de Los Santos’ never lost sight of their pursuit to reach out to more Filipinos and to contribute to the development of health care. The hospital board is still chaired by the couple who made the hospital possible. It is now managed however, by their children, Dr. Jose V. de Los Santos, Jr. as President and Dr. Efren V. de Los Santos as Medical Director, and, their grandchild Mr. Ronaldo H. de Los Santos as Administrator. In line with the family’s goals, they created subsidiary companies, Applied Diagnostic Ultrasound Inc., Hearth Care Diagnostics Inc., and DLSMC Diagnostic Imaging Corp., all of which were formed to venture in the operation of the most sophisticated diagnostic equipment’s; the opening of a school of Physical Therapy in 1994 which yielded some top-notchers in the board exams; and the setting-up of the Dr. Jose V. de Los Santos, Sr. Foundation for medical research and medical service to indigent patients in 1995. Today, DELOMED is still progressing and always will as it strives for betterment in health care.
