Ace Medical Center (legal name: Allied Care Experts Medical Center Cebu Inc., also branded as ACE Medical Center-Cebu or ACEMC-Cebu) is a publicly listed tertiary hospital headquartered in an eight-story facility at 982 N. Bacalso Ave., Basak, Pardo, Cebu City, Philippines. Founded circa 2019 by a group of physicians and three non-medical professionals, it is positioned as the first medical center in Cebu owned, built and managed by doctors themselves and is a member of the ACE Group of hospitals spanning Metro Manila, Bulacan, Bohol, Ilo-Ilo, Tacloban, and Dumaguete. The hospital provides emergency care (24/7), outpatient and inpatient services, a 24-hour pharmacy, laboratory and radiology diagnostics, major and minor surgery, intensive care units (ICU, NICU, PICU), isolation facilities, and maternity packages, with specialist coverage across family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, anesthesiology, cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, pulmonology, OB-GYN, orthopedics, neurosurgery, and ENT.

The underlying technology stack is conventional clinical infrastructure: physical diagnostic and imaging equipment, dedicated ICU and isolation rooms, and a digital patient portal (ACE Connect) for online appointment scheduling and service access. There are no disclosed proprietary AI systems, software platforms, or technology partnerships. The company is publicly registered with the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission, filing annual 17-A reports, quarterly 17-Q reports, and Definitive Information Statements continuously through fiscal year 2026, with no external private equity or venture capital involvement identified.

Ace Medical Center generates revenue through a transaction-fee model based on healthcare services delivered. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; patients pay via cash or through 19 accredited Health Maintenance Organizations (including Maxicare, PhilCare, Intellicare, Medicard, AXA Philippines, Pacific Cross, Kaiser, Generali, and others), supplemented by PhilHealth coverage. A 20% pharmacy discount is offered to senior citizens regardless of payment method. Go-to-market is sales-led through the physical facility, the ACE Connect online portal, walk-in traffic, HMO channel partnerships, and physician referrals, with the hospital's stated vision to be recognized as a leading tertiary healthcare center across the Visayas and Mindanao.
