In response to the growing need for accessible and timely medical attention, Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed) has officially opened its new Urgent Care Center, offering prompt treatment for non-life-threatening medical conditions in a convenient and patient-focused setting.
Located at the Ground Floor of Tower 1, the Urgent Care Center is designed to provide faster medical attention for patients who require immediate care but do not need emergency room services. The facility caters to urgent yet stable conditions such as minor injuries, fever, sore throat, eye irritation, skin rashes, flu-like symptoms, painful urination, ear pain, animal bites or scratches, medication administration, and other minor medical concerns.
Patients visiting the Urgent Care Center can expect expert medical attention from trusted MakatiMed physicians and healthcare professionals, streamlined service for non-emergency cases, and a more convenient healthcare experience.
According to Amado A. Flores III, MD, Head of the Emergency Medicine Department at Makati Medical Center, “Unlike a typical walk-in clinic, [Urgent Care Center] is powered by pioneering emergency physicians and specialty trained nurses. These are the same experts who handle the most complex cases of the hospital, now bringing the high-level diagnostic mindset to a more streamlined efficient setting.”
He emphasized the institution’s commitment to compassionate, collaborative, and patient-centered care, adding, “We’ve designed this space to provide premium, personalized care, removing the noise of the emergency department, and replacing it with focus and speed.”
Describing the vision behind the service, Dr. Flores said, “A minor concern still deserves major expertise.”
As healthcare needs continue to evolve, facilities such as urgent care centers help provide patients with more accessible options for timely medical attention for non-emergency conditions. The MakatiMed Urgent Care Center is now open to serve individuals seeking prompt, professional, and convenient care.
