“Today marks a great milestone for the people of Makati, especially our senior citizens, as now they have access to quality primary care services 24/7. It took several years to complete, but we delivered on our promise to give Makatizens a bigger and more accessible hospital where they can receive medical attention whenever needed,” Binay said in a statement on Tuesday. 

Makati Life Medical Center is a private-public partnership (PPP) between  LifeNurture Incorporated (LNI) and the city government of Makati.
