With advanced medical facilities, it will cater to both rich and poor, officials said.
The eight-story Allied Care Medical Experts Medical Center-Cebu (ACEMC-Cebu) Inc. will soon rise in Basak-Pardo, Cebu City, where the Lorenzo Milling Corp., which is near the University of San Jose Recoletos (USJR) south campus, used to be.
Speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony, ACEMC-Cebu president Dr. Amado C. Enriquez said the new hospital is a corporation organized by a group of doctors and non-medical professionals with the mission to establish a world-class tertiary hospital with the core values of altruism, compassion and excellence. “Most doctors are enriching hospitals where they are connected, but they are not owners. That’s the difference with ACE,” Enriquez said.
