Already, the 46-year-old hospital has just launched a 20-seat Dialysis Center and Business Office, on the occasion of the 93rd birthday of the Ramiro matriarch, Dinah Lumain Ramiro whose late husband Dr. Luther Ramiro, a resident surgeon of Graham Memorial University evolved the then Bohol Medical Center into a 118-bed Level 2 hospital in Tagbilaran City.

Also, the hospital’s medical facilities are being upgraded and renovation is underway, according to Norman Ramiro who welcomed the partnership it made with the Metro Pacific Hospital towards advancing the vision of his late father who had migrated to Bohol from Cagayan de Oro City in 1960.

“We thank Metro Pacific Hospitals for being with us in this Ministry of Healing,” Ramiro said as he welcomed the partnership the Ramiro children forged with the MVP Group which has grown its hospital group to 18 after its maiden investment in Makati Medical Center in 2007.

Metro Pacific Hospital Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan expressed “deep gratitude to the Ramiro family for welcoming us as partners in RCH as they “work towards fast-tracking the completion of its ongoing expansion and renovation projects, and upgrading its line-up of medical equipment, to propel Ramiro Community Hospital to a stronger multi-specialty tertiary hospital to serve the growing population of Tagbilaran and its adjacent municipalities.”

“In doing so, we hope to continue the vision of the late Dr. Luther Z. Ramiro and his late daughter, Audrey L. Ramiro, former RCH President and perpetuate their legacies. It is just unfortunate that this pandemic has not allowed us to execute faster in the face of the more urgent needs under this new normal. I also convey my warmest greetings to Ma’am Dinah on the occasion of her 93rd birthday, truly another milestone to celebrate,” Pangilinan added.

MPHHI was built around Pangilinan’s vision of bringing quality and affordable healthcare to Filipinos all over the country.
