Chong Hua Hospital and AXA Philippines Bring Healthcare Closer to Home

CEBU, Philippines — Chong Hua Hospital and AXA Philippines have formalized a regional preferred-provider partnership aimed at improving access to specialized healthcare services and providing a more seamless patient experience for eligible AXA members.

The partnership was formally sealed through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement on October 14, 2026, at Chong Hua Hospital Mandaue, with key leaders from both organizations coming together to mark this significant collaboration.

The collaboration brings together AXA Philippines’ expertise in health insurance and financial protection with Chong Hua Hospital’s established medical services, supported by care navigation and improved coordination throughout the patient’s healthcare journey.

Bringing Advanced Medical Expertise Closer to Home

As one of the major tertiary referral hospitals serving the Visayas and Mindanao, Chong Hua Hospital provides access to a broad network of medical specialists and subspecialists, advanced diagnostic capabilities, and comprehensive medical and surgical services.

Through this partnership, AXA members can access specialized care at Chong Hua Hospital in Cebu, including services in cardiovascular medicine through its Heart and Vascular Institute, oncology, urology, executive health, and other medical and surgical specialties.

For patients requiring complex medical interventions and specialized treatment, having these services available within the region offers an important advantage: access to advanced healthcare without necessarily having to travel to Metro Manila or overseas.

More importantly, it allows patients to receive the care they need while remaining closer to their families and support systems.

A More Connected Healthcare Experience

Beyond access to medical services, the partnership seeks to improve how AXA members navigate their healthcare needs.

Through closer coordination between AXA Philippines and Chong Hua Hospital, the collaboration aims to facilitate more efficient patient referrals, smoother hospital transactions, and better continuity of care.

The initiative reflects both institutions’ shared commitment to providing a more convenient, coordinated, and patient-centered healthcare experience.

Strengthening Healthcare Access Across the Region

For AXA Philippines, the partnership expands its network of preferred healthcare providers in the Visayas and Mindanao, giving eligible members access to established tertiary healthcare services within Cebu.

For Chong Hua Hospital, it reinforces the institution’s role as a regional referral center, connecting patients to specialized medical expertise, advanced healthcare technologies, and multidisciplinary care.

The partnership also underscores the importance of collaboration between healthcare providers and health insurers in addressing the growing demand for accessible, high-quality medical services outside the country’s capital.

By bringing together trusted financial protection and established medical expertise, Chong Hua Hospital and AXA Philippines are helping make advanced healthcare more accessible within the region.

Because better healthcare access is not simply about reaching the right medical facility. It is also about receiving expert care closer to home, and closer to the people who matter most.
