Our History
Health For All, Regardless of Race, Creed or Economic Status.
“Health for all regardless of race, creed, or economic status.” This was the principle that drove the medical career of Dr. Constantino P. Manahan as he rose to become a world-renowned obstetrics-gynecology specialist. This was the same philosophy that gave birth to Makati Medical Center, the hospital that he and other prominent Filipino doctors established in 1969.
The story of Makati Medical Center or MakatiMed began in the early 1960s when Dr. Manahan, together with Dr. Jose Y. Fores, a distinguished surgeon, and Dr. Mariano M. Alimurung, a famous cardiologist, decided to set up a world-class medical facility in Makati.
Makati was just beginning to rise as a bustling residential and commercial center. The Ayala conglomerate was still implementing the initial phases of its plan to transform the Manila suburb into the country’s premier business district. The plan required a modern hospital to service the community.
