Makati Life Medical Center (MLMC) has been named “Integrated Healthcare Provider of the Year” in this year’s Healthcare Asia Awards 2025 held in Malaysia.
Presented by Singapore-based Charlton Media Group’s Healthcare Asia Magazine, the award honored MLMC for its “unprecedented integration of a comprehensive primary care system within a hospital setting and its pioneering public-private partnership (PPP) with the City Government of Makati.”
MLMC is the first tertiary PPP hospital in the Philippines.
“Everyone receives the same dignity in care, no matter how they pay. We don’t draw lines between government-sponsored and private patients,” said Dr. Dennis Sta. Ana, President and CEO of Makati Life Medical Center.
“This isn’t just a hospital—it’s a healthcare movement,” Dr. Sta. Ana said. “Makati Life is a model for what Philippine healthcare can become: inclusive, innovative, and deeply human.”
Since the opening of Makati Life’s Primary Care Center in May 2023, tens of thousands of patients have received consultations, diagnostics (including laboratory and imaging procedures), treatment (such as outpatient surgeries), specialty care, and follow-up services—all under one roof, often during a single visit.
Recognized by the Healthcare Asia Awards for its holistic, scalable, and inclusive care model, MLMC is helping shape the future of healthcare in the Philippines.
