Chong Hua Hospital Recognized as iCare Outstanding Regional Hospital

Recognition celebrates a longstanding partnership committed to expanding access to quality healthcare for communities across the Visayas.

Chong Hua Hospital has been recognized as iCare Outstanding Regional Hospital during the 2026 iCare Better Health Awards held on August 27, 2026, a distinction that celebrates not only excellence in healthcare delivery but also the strength of partnerships built around a shared purpose—helping more Filipinos access better health.

The recognition carries particular meaning for Chong Hua Hospital as it comes from iCare, a long-time healthcare partner that has worked alongside the hospital in serving patients and communities across the region. Over the years, the partnership has helped connect iCare members with Chong Hua Hospital’s medical expertise, comprehensive services, and continuum of care in Cebu.

Today, iCare serves approximately 1.4 million members nationwide and has risen to become the No. 3 HMO in the Philippines, according to the Insurance Commission’s March 2026 industry report. Its growing reach is supported by a nationwide network of more than 2,000 accredited hospitals and clinics and over 50,000 accredited doctors and medical practitioners—giving members greater access to healthcare wherever they may be.

For Chong Hua Hospital, being part of this expanding network also reflects the important role it plays in the delivery of healthcare beyond Cebu. With two major hospitals, more than 1,000 beds, and over a thousand physicians, Chong Hua Hospital is recognized as the largest and most advanced fully integrated healthcare facility in the Visayas and Mindanao, providing a broad spectrum of medical, surgical, diagnostic, and specialized services to patients from across the region.

The Outstanding Regional Hospital recognition therefore represents more than institutional achievement. It reflects what becomes possible when healthcare providers and healthcare partners work together—combining access, expertise, infrastructure, and a shared commitment to ensure that patients receive the care they need, closer to home.

Chong Hua Hospital extends its sincere appreciation to iCare for its continued trust and partnership, and shares this recognition with its doctors, nurses, allied healthcare professionals, employees, and support teams who make quality and compassionate care possible every day.

As both organizations continue to grow their reach, the partnership remains anchored on a common goal: to make better healthcare more accessible to the communities they serve.

Because better health is not achieved by one institution alone. It is built together.
