Rizal Medical Center

What Rizal Medical Center does

Rizal Medical Center (RizalMed) is a DOH-retained tertiary government hospital located in Pasig City, Metro Manila, Philippines, founded in 1941 and operating under the Department of Health of the Republic of the Philippines. The hospital delivers a comprehensive portfolio of clinical services across 14 departments including Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, OB-Gynecology, Radiology, Ophthalmology, ORL-HNS, Anesthesia, Cancer Center, Dental, Dermatology (with an Eczema and Allergy Center), Nuclear Medicine, and Emergency Medicine, supported by Finance, Nursing, and HOPSS operations. Its catchment spans Rizal province and the broader Mega Manila area, with documented outreach missions extending service delivery to Cavite, Masbate, Romblon, and Marinduque provinces.

The institution operates a multi-modality diagnostic imaging and nuclear medicine platform anchored by a newly installed 64-slice CT scanner, digital C-arm machines, digital radiography units (one with fluoroscopy), and an MRI-compatible anesthesia machine. RizalMed is the first government hospital in the Philippines to perform Radio-guided Occult Lesion Localization (ROLL) using radioisotopes for breast cancer diagnosis, joining only The Medical City and St. Luke's Medical Center in offering this advanced nuclear-medicine procedure. The hospital also operates residency training programs producing graduates across Surgery, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Ophthalmology, Radiology, and Pathology-Laboratory Medicine.

Revenue is generated through a combination of DOH government appropriations, PhilHealth reimbursements, and direct patient payments at government-regulated rates. Private patient services include room rates from Php 500/day (5-bed ward) to Php 1,500/day (single room) plus down payments of Php 10,000 for non-surgical and Php 20,000 for surgical cases. The hospital holds ISO 9001:2008 certification (2013), was recognized as a Performance Governance System Mover (2016), and received the 2020 GAWAD BAYANING KALUSUGAN national award for COVID-19 frontliner service. Strategic partnerships include a joint liver transplant program with The Medical City, prior transformation support from Makati Medical Center Foundation, and the ISHA Project collaboration with Israel.
