Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed) has been recognized among the Asia-Pacific's leading specialized hospitals, ranking first among Philippine hospitals in endocrinology and gastroenterology in the Best Specialized Hospitals Asia Pacific 2026 rankings by Newsweek and Statista.
The annual rankings recognize hospitals across the region that demonstrate excellence in 10 specialties: cardiology, cardiac surgery, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopedics, pediatrics, and pulmonology.
Aside from topping the country in endocrinology and gastroenterology, MakatiMed also placed among the Philippines' top three hospitals in cardiac surgery, cardiology, and pediatrics.
