Quezon City General Hospital

Seminary Road, Barangay Bahay Toro, Project 8, Quezon City

The new five-storey Quezon City General Hospital (QCGH) Medical Center is a 250-bed capacity tertiarylevel hospital that provides the benefits of modern health care to the city's poor constituents.
Situated in a 3.2-hectare property at Barangay Bahay Toro in Quezon City, the new QCGH is the product
of a P1.5-billion redevelopment program directed at modernizing healthcare especially for indigents who
cannot afford private hospital rates but certainly deserve the same quality service. The program has
produced a new five-storey medical building where patients can expect affordable yet state-of-the-art
healthcare utilizing modern technology, including a 4D ultrasound, colposcope with LEEP, two ECG
machines, and a computerized radiography and digital fluoroscopy system. The hospital also boasts of a
64-slice CT scan, an acquisition which makes QCGH the first and only local government hospital to own
this high-end diagnostic tool. was added to two existing ones.
From an old seminary built by the Jesuits from the Ateneo de Manila University in the 1940s, to a 25-bed
capacity general hospital established under Mayor Norberto Amoranto in the 1960s, QCGH has
undergone a number of renovations and repairs but none as ambitious as the latest redevelopment.
As a tertiary-level hospital that provides training for tomorrow's doctors, QCGH also features an operating
room suite with a view deck for use of residents and nurses under training. There will also be a spacious
nurse station with extra rooms for the students.

The Quezon City General Hospital Medical Center was able to retain Level III classification from the
Department of Health (DOH). The DOH conducted an ispection for accreditation last February 7, 2013
and evaluated the hospital under the present classification incorporating Philhealth care indicators. The
inspection team found minor deficiencies which are to be completed immediately by the hospital.
The QCGH Medical Center was issued the 2013 license as a Level III, tertiary training hospital, the
highest level of classification for a hospital.
This reflects the efforts of the current administration to improve the services and status of the hospital.

The QCGH Director, Dr. Antonio Cabigas was also recognized recently by the Values Formation and
Transformation Council Inc. for his contribution and cooperation to the the achievement of the national
government's goal of eradicating the culture of graft and corruption and promoting honest public service.
