St. Luke’s Medical Center (SLMC) is recognized as the leading and most respected healthcare institution in the Philippines. Its two facilities in Quezon City and Global City, Taguig are at par with the most advanced hospitals around the world. A testament to SLMC’s world class quality medical service is its accreditation with, and affiliation to, prestigious international organizations.
St. Luke’s-Quezon City has the sole distinction of being the first hospital in the country accredited by the JCI, or Joint Commission International: the international arm of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)—the oldest and most prestigious healthcare accreditation organization in the world—which the facility received in 2003. It is also only the second hospital in Asia to be JCI-accredited. In 2016, it was also the first in the country to be accredited by JCI as an Academic Medical Center Hospital. St. Luke’s-Global City, on the other hand, earned its own JCI hospital accreditation in 2012 after only two years of operation. Both hospitals are also accredited by JCI for the Clinical Care Program Certification (CCPC) for the Primary Stroke Program.
The passion to continuously improve, redefine, and evolve excellence in medical and patient services has been the cornerstone of SLMC’s mission to deliver state-of-the-art healthcare. This is also guided by key drivers: good clinical outcomes, patient safety, education, training and research, a superior patient experience, and financial viability.
Between both Quezon City and Global City hospitals, SLMC has a total of 1,146 well-appointed rooms to ensure that all patients can be comfortably attended to, without fear of a shortage in accommodations.
Each is equipped with the best available equipment depending on patient requirements, even providing bespoke services such as a selective menu, a private butler, and advanced living amenities. SLMC believes that comfort and a positive experience are vital in the quest for health and recovery, and its range of patient rooms are designed with precisely this in mind.
It is because SLMC’s rooms provide a restorative space perfect for healing that they are a sought-after choice for patients who need hospital care. A testament to this would be the combined average number of in-patient admissions per year for both Quezon City and Global City Hospitals, which is at 60,321 annually.
Meanwhile, an average of 2,744,996 yearly outpatient consultations indicates that SLMC is also the top-of-mind choice even when patients are not required to be admitted. With 12 institutes and various departments and centres serving its patients, SLMC practices a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of specific medical conditions, while significant investments have been made to acquire advanced medical technologies and equipment that provide the most accurate diagnostics possible. In the hands of skilled and committed doctors, these advanced tools help propel SLMC and its capabilities to the forefront of healthcare service in the Philippines. A rundown of SLMC’s most prominent centers with cutting-edge technologies verifies the institute’s key presence in the country’s health and wellness sphere.
