History
The original The Medical City hospital was opened as the ABM Sison Hospital in 1967 along San Miguel Avenue in Mandaluyong,[1] The health facility was renamed as "The Medical City" or TMC in 1975.[2]
In 2000, The Medical City began the construction of its new hospital complex on the former Meralco property along Ortigas Avenue in Pasig. The construction was worth ₱2.1 billion and was completed in 2004.[1][2][3]
The hospital was among several hospitals in Metro Manila which catered to COVID-19 patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines with the facility exceeding capacity at one point.[4]
