MAKATIZENS will soon enjoy a complete range of primary care services, including preventive health screenings, diagnosis and treatment of common medical conditions, laboratory tests, RT-PCR tests, nutrition consultations, 24/7 pharmacy services, and more.
Makati City Mayor Abigail Binay on December 12, which is also her birthday, visited the soon-toopen Makati Life 24/7 primary care clinic.
Binay conducted an ocular inspection of the new Makati Life Medical Center in Malugay Street, Bgy. Bel-air, in anticipation of the hospital rolling out its primary care services soon.
“I wanted to see how construction and preparation at Makati Life Medical Center are progressing. We'll be opening the 24/7 primary care clinic soon, and I consider this a big milestone for Makati. We’re proud to be at the forefront in bringing modern, affordable, and accessible health-care services to the public,” the mayor said.
Yellow card
MAKATI Life Medical Center is the second hospital in Makati that will serve Yellow Card holders for free.
The state-of-the-art facility has 360 beds and 190 doctor’s clinics. The Level 2 hospital with multiple specialty centers boasts of advanced medical technology and modern facilities focusing on prevention, treatment and rehabilitation services.
According to the mayor, Makati Life's 24/7 primary care clinic is set to be operational early next year.
As a public private partnership project, Binay has high expectations for Makati Life.
She stresses that the hospital will be a game changer for healthcare services in Makati, providing top-notch medical care to ordinary citizens and the underserved.
“We are committed to providing the people of Makati better access to quality healthcare. I am confident that Makati Life Medical Center will be the cornerstone in this endeavor.
We envision an efficient, inclusive, and patient-centered health-care system that will benefit all Makatizens,” the mayor added.

The P9.77-billion hospital is more accessible to City Hall employees and residents of the first district.
In July, the Makati Life project won the Public-private Healthcare Partnership of the Year trophy at the Healthcare Asia Awards due to its vision to become a transformative health care collaboration between the local government and the private sector.
