Every great accomplishment begins with a dream, and for Dr. Lani G. Ancheta, that dream was Diliman Doctors Hospital, Inc. (DDHI). In 2011, she envisioned a premier healthcare facility in the bustling heart of Quezon City. Fast forward to 2018, and DDHI opened its doors, quickly establishing itself as the 'hospital of choice' in Northern Quezon City. But it wasn't all smooth sailing. Dr. Ancheta and her co-founders faced a myriad of challenges—financial hurdles, legal complexities, and the unforeseen chaos brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the team persevered, driven by an unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of their community.
Despite these challenges, DDHI has grown impressively, thanks to a dedicated team of over 500 medical practitioners serving the healthcare needs of nearby residential subdivisions. With a capacity of 165 beds and a strategic location on Commonwealth Avenue, the hospital continues to expand, tapping into a large catchment area for its services. But as Dr. Ancheta reflects on DDHI's journey, she acknowledges the need for a strong partner to realize the hospital's grand vision fully.
Enter Metro Pacific Health Corporation (MPH), the Philippines’ largest private hospital group. MPH recently announced its acquisition of a controlling stake in DDHI, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing mission to provide quality and affordable healthcare across the country. For MPH, this acquisition is not just a business transaction; it’s a commitment to transforming healthcare delivery in Quezon City.
Jose Noel C. de la Paz, MPH Director for Corporate Development, expressed his gratitude for the trust placed in MPH by Dr. Ancheta and her team. He emphasized the responsibility that comes with this trust, but also the confidence MPH has in its professional management team and the strategies developed over its 17-year history. With a network of 26 hospitals and a total in-patient capacity exceeding 4,300 beds, MPH is well-equipped to elevate DDHI to new heights.
Change is on the horizon for Diliman Doctors Hospital, and it promises to bring about significant improvements in clinical, operational, and financial efficiencies. With MPH's expertise and resources, DDHI is set to enhance patient experiences and health outcomes, ensuring that healthcare services are not only accessible but also of the highest quality.
MPH's track record speaks for itself. From Makati Medical Center to Davao Doctors Hospital, MPH has consistently demonstrated its capability to transform hospitals into leading healthcare institutions. For DDHI, this means access to best practices, innovative technologies, and a network of seasoned professionals, all working towards a common goal: better healthcare for all.
DDHI is MPH’s third investment transaction this year, underscoring the corporation's aggressive expansion strategy. With each new acquisition, MPH strengthens its position as a leader in the healthcare industry, not just in Metro Manila, but across the Philippines. From Southern Luzon to Mindanao, MPH is making its mark, ensuring that more Filipinos have access to the healthcare they deserve.
As MPH integrates DDHI into its growing portfolio, the future looks promising. The synergy between DDHI's local expertise and MPH's national influence creates a powerful combination poised to redefine healthcare standards. As this partnership unfolds, the true beneficiaries will be the patients and communities who will experience improved healthcare services.
In the words of Dr. Ancheta, the journey of Diliman Doctors Hospital from a dream to reality has been filled with challenges and triumphs. With Metro Pacific Health now part of its story, DDHI is set to reach new milestones, fulfilling its mission to serve the community with excellence and care. Together, DDHI and MPH are not just building a hospital; they are nurturing a vision for a healthier Philippines.
