Getting Better Just Got Better

The University Physicians Medical Center (UPMC) is a private outpatient diagnostic and surgical facility situated within the newly-renovated UPM-PGH Faculty Medical Arts Building (FMAB).  UPMC is the trade name of the Mercado Ambulatory and Surgical Centers, Inc. (MASCI), a subsidiary of the Daniel O. Mercado Medical Clinic (DMMC).

The FMAB is a one-stop health facility that aims to provide an efficient clinic environment for doctors and equally hassle-free patient-centered services. The FMAB is operated and managed by the Daniel Mercado Medical Center (DMMC) as a joint undertaking with the University of the Philippines.

Also located within FMAB are the specialty clinics or offices of doctors affiliated with UP Manila, the National Health Sciences Center, and the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) – the National Hospital. The FMAB has 300 UP and PGH affiliated professional medical, dental and paramedical practitioners that cover 15 specialties and 75 sub-specialties.  Because of this, referral from one specialist to another is easier and faster.

Outpatient care is becoming the fastest growing trend in healthcare delivery.  No hospitalization translates to more savings for the patient.  With the advancement in technology, major surgical procedures can now be performed without need of confinement.  UPMC also offers a complete range of advanced, yet more affordable diagnostic procedures.  This translates to better value for the patients’ money.

At UPMC, patients are afforded a pleasant, relaxing environment.  Patients will also enjoy the convenience of a centralized queuing system, electronic medical records, dining outlets and ample parking space.

Clinical expertise, complete diagnostic technology and a pleasant environment contribute to a delightful healing experience.  Getting better doesn’t get any better than this.
