Manila :
Temos, a German-based healthcare accreditation organization, has recognized St. Luke’s Medical Center (SLMC) as a world-class medical tourism destination due to its two hospitals’ reputation in medical excellence and quality services and facilities.
Hospital records show that a significant number of people admitted to St. Luke’s hospitals are international patients.
The most common procedures they avail of are executive check-ups, orthopedic surgery and general surgery.
The SLMC has hospitals in Quezon City and Global City.
“With the Temos double certification for both hospitals, international patients are assured they will get affordable and the best patient care on par with the best in the world while local patients will also benefit from our high quality medical and patient services,” said Dr. Alejandro Dizon, SLMC SVP for Quality and Patient Safety and Chief Quality Officer.
The Temos assessors conducted in October a two week-long inspections of both hospitals’ medical and non-medical services for medical tourists.
SLMC officials said this certification from Temos will contribute to the Philippines’ efforts to remain competitive in the region’s medical tourism industry, which is currently dominated by Thailand, Singapore, India and Malaysia.
