Philippines General Hospital in Manila - Philippines

Philippines General Hospital (PGH) is the Philippines' 102-year old national tertiary referral center and teaching hospital of UP Manila (The Health Sciences Center) that includes the UP College of Medicine, UP College of Nursing, UP College of Dentistry and allied colleges. It is the largest government hospital administered by the UP System (not by the Department of Health), occupies 10 hectares of prime Manila real estate, 45 interconnected and stand-alone buildings, and 125,000 square meters of floor area, consists of 19 clinical departments distributed in the in- and outpatient sections, 1500 patient beds (1000 charity, 500 pay and special units), and includes modernized and upgraded service, training and research facilities, the latest of which are emergency and radiodiagnostic complexes, the National Eye Referral Center (Sentro Oftalmologico Jose Rizal) and the soon-to-operate Faculty Medical Arts Building (FMAB), among others.

Since its creation by Philippine Commission Act 1688 on August 17, 1907 and subsequent opening to the public on September 1, 1910 with 300 beds, PGH stood by its noble purpose of providing quality health care to the Filipino people especially to the underserved. From 1985 to 1991, PGH underwent a major renovation and expansion program, necessitating a dramatic increase in manpower, hospital services and equipment. Today, PGH boasts of about 4000 medical and non-medical employees, a wide array of general, subspecialty and cutting-edge services, and complete support programs and facilities that enable it to render comprehensive quality care to both healthy and sick Filipinos, in particular the indigent and marginalized.
