Makati Medical Center

Renowned Filipino Doctors and Businessmen founded Makati Medical Center in 1969. It was started in the early 1960s when OB-Gynecologist Constantino Manahan, MD, with the surgeon Jose Fores, MD, and cardiologist Mariano Alimurung, MD, decided to set up a world-class facility in Makati.

To raise funds for the construction, the founders looked for other professionals and doctors who had the same dream. They sent Atty. Artemio Delfino as an emissary to the United States to scout for more investors. It was formally opened to the public on May 31, 1969.

It marked the fulfillment and culmination of years of hard work and sacrificed to provide Filipinos healthcare. On May 31, 2019, they celebrated their golden year anniversary. They commemorated the founding fathers' priceless contributions to the hospital's legacy. A coffee table book entitled "Ginintuan" (Golden) was launched to chronicle the institution's story and legacy throughout its fifty years of serving.
