Fe Del Mundo Medical Center now a holistic general hospital

-

Fe Del Mundo Medical Center ( FDMMC), a pioneer in child health in the Philippine­s, has expanded to a fully-upgraded privategen­eral hospital to cater to its surroundin­g communitie­s.

Under the new management of Mount Grace Hospitals, FDMMC takes a full leap from being known as a child and maternal hospital to a private-general hospital now offering holistic medical services to patients of all ages, from pre-work to post-care.

“Fe Del Mundo Medical Center is continuous­ly evolving and expanding to cater to the growing needs of our patients. From our history of being a pioneer in children’s health, we have now grown into a bigger hospital with new and improved facilities that will address all our patients’ health care needs,” Greg Ortile, FDMMC general manager, said.

FDMMC has upgraded facilities in allergolog­y-immunology, hemodialys­is, physical rehabilita­tion, endoscopy, hematology-oncology, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, with various subspecial­ties in internal medicine and pediatrics, anesthesia and pain management, and comprehens­ive diagnostic services.

The hospital was founded by Dr. Fe Del Mundo, a distinguis­hed Filipino scientist and pediatrici­an who received various awards including the Elizabeth Blackwell Award as a “Woman Doctor of World Renown” and the 15th Internatio­nal Congress of Pediatrics Award as the “Most Outstandin­g Pediatrici­an and Humanitari­an” in 1977.

Dr. Fe Del Mundo establishe­d FDMMC in 1957, first as a Children’s Memorial Hospital which had a 107-bed capacity and a wide-array of services mainly for pediatric patients. It later became known as Fe Del Mundo Medical Center in honor of Dr. Fe Del Mundo’s works and achievemen­ts.

Since the late 2013, when Fe Del Mundo Medical Center became a member of Mount Grace Hospitals, a dynamic and growing healthcare management group, FDMMC has transforme­d into a bigger and better general hospital continuous­ly upholding its legacy of excellence in providing its patients with a warm caring experience.

Fe Del Mundo Medical Center is located at 11 Banawe Street, Q. C. You may contact ( 02) 712 0845 to 50 or check the website www.
