‍Philippines’ Largest PPP Hospital Launches in Makati: A Game-Changer in Healthcare Access

Makati City, Philippines — The country’s healthcare landscape reaches a pivotal milestone as Makati Life Medical Center (MLMC) launches in the heart of the country’s key Business District. Touted as the first and largest Public-Private Partnership (PPP) hospital project in the Philippines, Makati Life redefines what it means to deliver accessible, future-ready, and inclusive care, setting a new benchmark in healthcare delivery.

A collaboration between the City Government of Makati and Life Nurture Inc., Makati Life is a model of how the private sector’s expertise and innovation, when combined with the public sector’s influence and reach, can dramatically improve health outcomes, expand access, and rebuild trust in the healthcare system.

 “Today marks more than a launch—it’s the beginning of a shared vision where healthcare is a right, not a privilege,” said Dr. Dennis Sta. Ana, President and CEO of Makati Life Medical Center. “Built on the power of public-private partnership, Makati Life stands as a private institution with a public heart—ready to serve all patient types across all sectors of society.” 

Starting May 8, this next phase of operations activates key hospitals ervices including Emergency Care, Critical Care, Surgical Services, Admissions, Women’s Health. These together with its existing ancillary services are also now made available through inpatient care. In the coming months, Makati Life will open its specialty centers and advanced programs, expanding the hospital’s footprint in subspecialty care and complex case management.

 At present, Makati Life’s Outpatient Department serves up to 800 patients daily for consultations and diagnostics across Family Medicine and multiples pecialties. With the launch of inpatient services, the hospital can now accommodate up to 100 patient admissions daily, with infrastructure and personnel ready to scale further.

 Beyond clinical excellence, Makati Life champions a flagship Human Experience Program—placing the dignity, emotions, and needs of every patient and healthcare worker at the center of its service model. From digitally streamlined systems to personalized care journeys, every touchpoint is designed for ease, empathy, and empowerment.

 In recognition of its integrated, patient-centric approach, Makati Life Medical Center was recently awarded the 2025 “Integrated Healthcare Provider of the Year – Philippines” at the prestigious Healthcare Asia Awards in Kuala Lumpur. This accolade reinforces the hospital’s commitment to continuous innovation and its role in shaping the future of healthcare delivery in the region.

 “When we first dreamed of Makati Life, we weren't just planning another hospital. We reimagined what is possible when government purpose meets private sector agility.” said Honorable Mar-len Abigail S. Binay. “When compassion meets innovation. When we refuse to accept that any Filipino deserves less than first-class care.”
 

As Makati Life moves forward, it calls on partners, healthcare providers, and communities to be part of a movement that brings better care tolife—delivered with expertise, compassion, and purpose.
