Back in 2010, premier hospital Makati Medical Center had wanted to acquire a robotic surgical system to live up to its vision of being the leading healthcare facility in the country with top notch service, expertise and technology.

Ocampo; Department Chair of Surgery, Jaime D. Songco, MD; Medical Director & Interim Co-President and CEO, Saturnino P. Javier, MD; and Director of Professional Services, Noel L. Rosas, MD during the launch and blessing of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System at the hospital on April 16, 2024.
He added that “because we allowed it to slip through our hands, another hospital benefitted from it and keep in mind that those doctors who operate, a good number of them are MakatiMed based.” “We want to make sure that our line of equipment is complete so that we don’t have any more leakages to other hospitals. We will give our patients the complete line of options from which to choose from,” he said, adding that the hospital will couple the technology with the kind of compassionate service that the hospital is known for.
“So far, MakatiMed is the only hospital in the Metro Pacific Health group that has the robotic surgery platform,” he added.
