As parents, healthcare is one of our top considerations when it comes to searching for quality yet affordable providers.
A new network of health care facilities in the country was introduced to mom bloggers a couple of weeks ago. Qualimed is set to fulfill the three As–Accessibility, Affordability, and Appropriateness–as they give the best service to its clients.
Qualimed has accessible locations all over the country. We visited one of their facilities inside the PGH compound.

First order of the day was a tour of the facility:

Their main service is providing quality primary care, but they have flagships in each of their facilities. In this case, the Manila branch’s flagship is their Surgery Center. The one opening in Iloilo will be a women and children’s center.
Here are some more facilities in the Manila branch:
