Situated in the heart of Jaro, Iloilo City now stands a state-of-the-art medical center that surely is at par with the world-class hospitals in Metro Manila.
The Asia Pacific Medical Center-Iloilo is the first of its kind in the whole of Western Visayas and the Panay region that possesses a multi-specialty facility, promising world-class service to its patients at competitive rates. This medical center includes specialty centers such as regenerative medicine and stem cell treatment centers, a cancer center that includes a natural killer cells facility (the first of its kind in the country), an eye center, and a woman center, among many others. It is also the first medical center above 1B that was granted by the Board of Investment, six years of Income Tax Holiday under Tier 1, upgradable to seven years and five years of expanded fiscal incentive provided in the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises Act.
