St. Luke's Medical Center – Quezon City is a hospital in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is a part of St. Luke's Medical Center group of hospitals. Founded in 1903, it is the third oldest American and Protestant hospital in the Philippines (first Protestant Episcopalian hospital in the country) after CPU–Iloilo Mission Hospital and Silliman University Medical Center.[1]

Along with its sister medical center of the same name, the St. Luke's Medical Center - Global City at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, the hospital is under the management of the St. Luke's Medical Center Group and is affiliated with the Episcopal Church in the Philippines, but maintains to be independent.[2]

The managing entity of both hospitals is based in the Quezon City hospital and the Taguig hospital is a wholly owned corporation of the former.[3]

St. Luke's serves also as an affiliated university hospital of Trinity University of Asia, the first Protestant Episcopalian university in Asia, and the St. Luke's College of Medicine.[4]

History

St. Luke's was established in October 1903 by American Episcopalian missionaries as a charity ward and dispensary hospital led by retired bishop Charles Henry Brent. It was founded as the Dispensary of St. Luke the Beloved Physician, a fully free outpatient clinic for the poor in Calle Magdalena (now Masangkay Street) in Tondo, Manila.[5]

In 1961, the health facility would move to its current location in Quezon City.[5]

The hospital has a 633 bed-capacity. It also hosts medical equipment such as the 3-Tesla MRI, 1152-slice dual energy CT scanner, PET scanner and Cyclotron. It employs at least 1,700 doctors and about 2,600 non-medical staff.[6]

An S-layer (surface layer) is a part of the cell envelope found in almost all archaea, as well as in many types of bacteria.[1][2] The S-layers of both archaea and bacteria consists of a monomolecular layer composed of only one (or, in a few cases, two) identical proteins or glycoproteins.[3] This structure is built via self-assembly and encloses the whole cell surface. Thus, the S-layer protein can represent up to 15% of the whole protein content of a cell.[4]...
