In the ever-evolving landscape of Cebu, where heritage and modernity coexist, Chong Hua Hospital stands as a quiet yet powerful constant: a place where generations have turned not just for treatment, but for hope.
For more than a century, Chong Hua has been more than just a hospital. It has been a guardian of life, a pillar of trust, and a sanctuary during life’s most vulnerable moments. Rooted in compassion and driven by innovation, its story is not simply about curing illness, but about elevating lives through world-class, patient-centered care.
Since opening its doors in 1909, Chong Hua has remained true to its founding mission: to care with compassion and heal with purpose. What began as a modest facility has evolved into a regional leader in healthcare, boasting two full-service hospitals in Cebu City and Mandaue, with a combined capacity of 1,010 beds.
But numbers alone do not tell the story.
Behind every consultation, every procedure, and every life saved is a team of more than 4,400 healthcare professionals, including 804 medical staff, 1,527 board-certified specialists, and 2,162 allied health workers. Each one is committed to delivering not just treatment, but dignity, empathy, and trust.
At the heart of Chong Hua’s growth is a bold commitment to innovation: one that never loses sight of the human experience.
In 2024, the hospital launched a game-changing facility: the Chong Hua Medical Mall—the first of its kind in the Visayas and Mindanao. This 12-story space reimagines outpatient care by integrating clinical services, diagnostics, ambulatory surgery, and wellness amenities such as cafés, retail outlets, pharmacies, and banks – all under one roof.
Features like Meds-to-Go, a convenient medicine delivery service, and a laboratory drive-thru make healthcare more accessible, efficient, and dignified, transforming traditional hospital visits into patient- centered experiences.
The Chong Hua Hospital Mandaue and Chong Hua Medical Mall are now officially accredited as Medical Tourism destinations – the only tertiary institutions in the region with this distinction. This milestone positions Cebu not just as a leading Philippine medical hub, but as a rising player in global healthcare.
In 2025, Chong Hua Hospital officially launched the FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND Chi Mobile App, allowing patients to experience the future of digital healthcare at their fingertips with real-time updates and a more accessible, intuitive, and user-friendly mobile experience.
That same year, the hospital broke new ground with the opening of Cebu’s first dedicated Pain Management Center, addressing a growing need for compassionate, long-term care for those living with chronic pain.
Chong Hua’s impact has not gone unnoticed.
In 2024, it was named one of the Most Outstanding Hospitals in the Philippines by the Philippine Hospital Association and received regional recognition at the Health Care Asia Awards for its service excellence and hospital and patient-first innovations for Medical Mall in April 2025.
As it looks to the future, Chong Hua Hospital is guided by a clear and ambitious goal: to become the preferred comprehensive healthcare institution in the Asia-Pacific by 2030.
It is a vision built not just on cutting-edge facilities or accolades, but on something deeper: trust, compassion, and a legacy of healing that continues to evolve with the times.
Because at Chong Hua, healthcare has never just been about machines, medicine, or walls but people. And it always will be.
Chong Hua Hospital is in Cebu City and Mandaue.
