According to S.P. Castro and DMCI, the project management team in charge of the construction, the project is now more than 90 percent complete with optimism that the last quarter of this year completion target will be met.

Rising hand-in-hand with the AHMC’s main hospital is a state-of-the-art seven-story Medical Office Building (MOB) set to house 145 Doctors’ clinics and outpatient diagnostic centers.
