Asian Hospital and Medical Center and Intellicare-AVEGA Launch Exclusive Wing Partnership
AHMC and Intellicare inaugurated an exclusive wing dedicated to Intellicare and Avega HMO members last July 12. Located on the 10th floor of AHMC, the wing ensures that Intellicare members requiring admission will have access to dedicated rooms. The exclusive wing at AHMC represents a significant milestone in the strategic alliance between the two institutions.
“Asian Hospital really wants more patients to access our services because we do have the best doctors in the world practicing here,” said Dr. Beaver Tamesis, AHMC President and CEO. “Our philosophy has really been to make sure we are accessible, that people get what they deserve. Hence, the tagline ‘Alagang Deserve, Alagang Sulit’ was born.”
Dr. Louie Agregado, Intellicare’s AVP for Medical Group, underscored that Intellicare has had many firsts with AHMC, including being the site of Intellicare’s first clinic. Another first was the surgical packages developed with Intellicare to bring affordability to patients. Dr. Agregado highlighted that “there is a stigma that Asian Hospital is very expensive, but when we packaged them, it becomes affordable to the common Filipino as well. This is the first time that we will have a dedicated wing for our members. We have been toying with the idea for the longest time, even before the pandemic. We are very grateful to Asian Hospital for accepting the idea,” he said.
For his part, Dr. Michael John Encarnacion, Medical Director of Avega, said this exclusive wing would take patient experience to another degree. “We will create that next-level customer experience. We talk about innovation, collaboration, and making a difference. Our North Star is the customer. On our doorposts in the rooms of the wing, it says Asian Hospital, Intellicare, and Avega are here to take care of you,” he said.
