The Medical City (TMC), the country’s largest healthcare network under a single brand, has once again earned global recognition after taking home six major honors at the 2025 Healthcare Asia Awards, including its fourth consecutive Hospital of the Year – Philippines award.
Held annually to recognize the most outstanding hospitals, clinics, and healthcare leaders across the region, the awards reaffirm The Medical City’s commitment to world-class care, innovation, and patient-centered services—this time earning accolades for both its flagship institutions and regional arms.
TMC Ortigas secures top honors, again
For the fourth year in a row, The Medical City Ortigas was named Hospital of the Year – Philippines. The distinction follows a series of milestones, including its 7th straight Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation and its continued leadership in cardiac care through the country’s only JCI-certified Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Program.
TMC Ortigas also won Public-Private Partnership of the Year for its work with government agencies in expanding access to transplant procedures and advanced care, especially for underserved communities.
Iloilo and Clark branches shine in regional categories
The Medical City Iloilo was recognized as Secondary Hospital of the Year, with commendations for its community-centered approach and its designation as the only Tier 2 Acute Stroke-Ready Hospital in Western Visayas. It also earned back-to-back honors for infection prevention and workforce resilience.
Meanwhile, The Medical City Clark received the Patient Safety Program of the Year award for its "Safety Starts With Me" campaign, focused on antimicrobial stewardship, hygiene education, and compassionate care. Clark also recently earned its first JCI accreditation, the only hospital outside Metro Manila to do so.
The Medical City Clinics lead in primary care
With over 70 locations nationwide, The Medical City Clinics (TMC Clinics) received Primary Care Provider of the Year for the third straight year. In 2024, the network opened 12 new branches, onboarded 250 new physicians, and launched a system-wide digital transformation including EHR integration and corporate wellness programs.
Now globally ranked
Beyond the regional accolades, TMC was also awarded a 4-star rating under the Global Hospital Rating by Newsweek and Statista—the only Philippine hospital to be comprehensively ranked. The rating system evaluates institutions based on provision of care, timeliness, patient experience, technology, and employer attractiveness.
“We never set out to win awards — we set out to earn trust. To serve with integrity, lead with heart, and deliver world-class care that never forgets its roots,” said Dr. Stuart Bennett, President and Group CEO of The Medical City. “Being named Hospital of the Year for the fourth year in a row is an extraordinary honor — not because of the recognition, but because it affirms what we’ve always believed: that the Philippines can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in global healthcare, powered by skill, compassion, and malasakit.”
