The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges and has caused a lot of confusion and disruption in people’s lives all over the world. Leaders have stepped up, rolling out various initiatives with the goal of keeping people safe and halting further transmission of the virus. At The Medical City (TMC) South Luzon, leaders across all organizational levels rose to the challenge and faced it head on. With patients afraid to go to the hospital for treatment, TMC South Luzon responded and encouraged patients to continue seeking care for their other health problems by assuring them that they are safe and protected while within the hospital premises. An essential component to this is the Complex of Hope (COH), a detached facility where all the COVID-19 cases are admitted and managed. A brainchild of Dr. Cesar Ramon G. Espiritu, TMC South Luzon president and CEO, the complex opened its doors to patients in May last year.
