ACE Medical Center to open branch in Zamboanga City

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Dec. 19 (PNA) -- The Allied Care Experts (ACE) Medical Center, a fast-growing chain of hospitals, is opening up a branch to provide quality medical services in this city and to the nearby provinces.

Dr. Amado Enriquez, ACE Medical Group president, said that entry of ACE Medical Center is to provide opportunity to medical specialists to serve their native place.

“What is happening now is that after the doctors undergo specialization in Manila, they stay there because the facilities where they can practice are there,” Enriquez explained.

Enriquez said the opening of the ACE Medical Center-Zamboanga would provide the needed facilities for medical specialists to serve their town mates.

“We will bring back the specialists to their localities,” Enriquez stressed.

He said the opening of the ACE Medical Center - Zamboanga would also provide the residents the opportunity of availing services of medical specialists and to lessen the lack of good and fully equipped hospitals.

He said the standards of the World Health Organization is one bed for every 500 Filipinos “but what is happening now is one bed is to 1,000 Filipinos.”

He said the benefits that ACE Medical Center - Zamboanga would grant to their clients will be honored by ACE sister hospitals in other parts of the country.

The ACE Medical Center operates hospitals in Manila, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Pateros, and in Subic.

Here in Mindanao, ACE Medical Centers will be established in the cities of Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Dipolog and General Santos aside from Zamboanga City.

The ACE Medical Center that would be opened at Barangay Tetuan here is a one - basement, eight - storey fully equipped hospital to be manned by medical specialists.

Enriquez and Engr. Ibrahim Nuño, president of the Metro Stonerich Corporation, on Sunday led the signing of the construction contract in this city.

Nuño said the construction of the ACE Medical Center would commence on January 9, 2017 and expected for completion within a 10-month period although the contract is 18 months since the laying of the foundation has been completed. (PNA)
