MakatiMed stands on Amorsolo Street in Legaspi Village, in the middle of the Makati business district and a short walk from the Greenbelt and Glorietta hotels. It describes a 600-bed capacity and accreditation by Joint Commission International, and it publishes a single number, the MakatiMed 24/7 OnCall line, for emergencies, referrals and appointments alike. For anyone staying in Makati it is the obvious hospital.
What it is known for
Location, and more than fifty years of treating the country’s main business district. Makati Medical Center sits on Amorsolo Street in Legaspi Village, two blocks from Greenbelt and a few minutes from Ayala Avenue, so for most visitors staying in Makati it is the nearest hospital of this standard by a wide margin. The hospital describes a 600-bed capacity and accreditation by Joint Commission International, and covers the full range of tertiary services: cardiac, cancer, neurosciences, orthopaedics, intensive care and a large emergency department. Everything runs through one number, the MakatiMed 24/7 OnCall line, which is the one to call at any hour.
Who it suits
Business travellers and anyone staying in Makati, from the Legaspi and Salcedo Village hotels to Poblacion and the Ayala Avenue towers. It is a full tertiary hospital, so it handles a heart attack as readily as a stomach bug, and English is the working language throughout. It is also the sensible choice if you are unsure how serious a problem is and want it looked at properly the same day. Anyone in Ortigas or Quezon City should weigh the traffic and pick the hospital on their own side of the city instead.
Cost and insurance
Private pricing at the upper end of the Philippine market, and the same deposit rule as everywhere else: payment is secured before admission and the bill settled before discharge, so a foreign patient without a guarantee of payment is asked for a deposit up front. The hospital publishes a long list of Philippine HMOs it accepts and runs an HMO Assist desk on the first floor of Tower 1, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm — that is for local health plans rather than foreign travel insurance. For a foreign policy, ring your insurer’s assistance line first and expect to pay and claim if it has no arrangement here.
Getting there
No. 2 Amorsolo Street, Legaspi Village, a block behind the Greenbelt malls: from most Makati hotels it is a ten-minute walk or a very short Grab ride, which is often quicker than a car at rush hour. From Bonifacio Global City allow twenty minutes off-peak, more when the Kalayaan flyover is jammed, and from the airport twenty to forty minutes depending on the hour. The one number to call, day or night, is +63 2 8888 8999.
