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.
