History

The MMC was formed in 1962, when six visionaries saw the future of medical care. A group of renown doctors, and a group of top businessmen from Christian Gospel Church envisioned putting up a tertiary level hospital in the heart of downtown Manila. Mr. Amado Lim served as the MMC's first Chairman.
