History
The hospital was founded in 1956 by a group of 14 doctors, in a 5-storey building which was converted into a hospital complex in an 8-storey Doña Salustiana Medical Tower.
In December 1975, during the 19th anniversary celebration of Manila Doctors Hospital, MDH opened its affiliated campus, known as the Manila Doctors Hospital School of Nursing (then Manila Doctors College, now Manila Tytana Colleges), its campus was originally located at the fourth floor of Manila Doctors Hospital, before it was relocated to Pasay along Macapagal Boulevard in 2004.
On February 27, 1979, the Metrobank Group became the major stockholder of Manila Medical Services, Inc.
On December 8, 2016, the hospital opened its new medical tower, the Norberto Ty Medical Tower (NTMT; now the Dr. George S.K. Ty Medical Tower), its new 18-floored tower along Kalaw Avenue, in celebration of the hospital's 60th anniversary. MDH continually developed its entire support and medical departments to become one of the top five hospitals in Metro Manila. In 2017, the hospital acquired its new building with approximately 500 beds and more clinic rooms and doctors.[4] The hospital also added more medical and diagnostic services, such as one stop shop wellness hub, vascular clinic and radiation oncology center which houses the most advanced cancer treatment – the Linear Accelerator (LINAC) and Brachytherapy, as well as several new restaurants on the building itself.
