Metro Pacific Health Corp. (MPH), the health-care unit of billionaire Manuel V. Pangilinan’s Metro Pacific Investments Corp., is taking over UHBI-Parañaque Doctors Hospital (PDH), widening its network in the country to 24 facilities.

MPH on Tuesday announced that it had acquired a majority stake in PDH, its 10th hospital in Metro Manila.

“Our investment in UHBI-Parañaque Doctors Hospital marks a significant milestone in our journey to expand access to quality health care across the Philippines and serve more communities in the country,” MPH CEO Harish Pillai said in a statement.

MPH plans to fully use PDH’s new seven-story building, improve patient flow and enhance patient experience, and upgrade hospital equipment to better accommodate the growing outpatient market in Parañaque City and neighboring communities.

Metro Pacific Health seals its investment in UHBI-PDH in a signing attended by (L-R) Divino Lorenzo F. Villanueva III, Director – Investment Banking of GIV Capital (Advisor to Sellers); Conrado A. Gloria Jr., President & CEO of GIV Capital (Advisor to Sellers); Manuel Eduardo B. Lunas, Former Chairman/President of Parañaque Doctor’s Hospital; Jose Noel C. de la Paz, Director for Corporate Development of Metro Pacific Health; Kris Anne A. Tuaño, Assistant Vice President for Business Development of Metro Pacific Health

The 21-year-old hospital sits on a 6,000-square meter land along Doña Solenad Avenue, with a pool of over 200 active doctors.
