MCI, established by a group of thirty enterprising founders twenty-one years ago, draws strength from a pool of ninety-seven active specialists and two hundred visiting doctors. The ninety-bed level two hospital, readily expandable to one hundred twenty beds, caters to the cities of Imus and Bacoor, which combine for a population of a million.

MCI sits on more than a hectare of property, inclusive of about 6,000 sqm of vacant land currently utilized for surface parking.

“This is our first hospital in the much-coveted Cavite Province which, due to industrialization and the influx of OFW families in the past decades, has grown to be the country’s second most populated and 2nd densest province (next to Cebu and Rizal, respectively),” shared MPH President Augie Palisoc Jr.

“We see a lot of potential in this hospital given that it is in the middle of a highly populated fertile market. We are excited to apply MPH’s group synergies to MCI and raise patient experience to new levels never before seen in Cavite, by strengthening management and investing in infrastructure improvements.” added incoming Deputy CEO Dra. Jo Eileen Suzanne Ringler-Pama.
