BIZ BUZZ: St. Luke’s Medical Center sets high bar
St. Luke’s Medical Center (SLMC) is already recognized as one of the best medical institutions in the Philippines, and now it is also seen as a cut above the rest in the region.
Recently, it emerged as the only Philippine hospital recognized in Newsweek’s 2025 Best Specialized Hospitals in the Asia Pacific across a range of specialties, from cardiac surgery to pediatrics.
This is a rare feat that reinforces its position as a leader in specialized care not only locally, but within the broader Asia Pacific region.
Newsweek’s annual rankings—conducted in partnership with global research firm Statista—highlight the region’s most trusted and high-performing hospitals in key medical disciplines.
Both St. Luke’s Medical Center in Global City and Quezon City were cited across recognized specialties, upholding the hospital’s reputation as a center of excellence that stands shoulder to shoulder with Asia’s healthcare giants.
St. Luke’s Medical Center–Global City is at the forefront, earning top recognition in cardiac surgery and cardiology—two of the most complex and life-critical medical disciplines. Being the highest-ranked Philippine hospital in these fields is no small achievement.
SLMC–Global City also stood alone as the only Philippine hospital recognized for excellence in orthopedics and pulmonary care. These citations speak volumes about the institution’s commitment to innovation, precision and patient-centered care.
Meanwhile, St. Luke’s Medical Center–Quezon City has solidified its leadership in neurology and neurosurgery, reaffirming its status as a center of excellence in brain and spine health.
In the delicate field of pediatrics, both branches earned recognition, demonstrating that their excellence spans all ages and specialties. This international recognition sends a powerful message that the best care is within reach—and it’s right here at home.
