Located in Lipa, Batangas, the hospital signed a two-year contract for one megawatt of geothermal power from EDC’s Bacman Geothermal Inc.

“This contract symbolizes our commitment not only to our partnership but also to our environment. It is a good opportunity that First Gen-EDC offered us, this alternative energy solution. Not only will we be able to generate substantial savings through this initiative, but we will still be able to deliver high-quality healthcare services to our patients without compromise,” said MMMC CEO and president Dr. Robert Magsino during the contract signing in Batangas.

“Geothermal power provides clean, renewable and reliable energy that allows us to reduce our operation’s negative impact on the environment by reducing our carbon footprint. With this in mind, we look forward to a mutually beneficial and strong partnership with First Gen-EDC,” Magsino added.

MMMC has been giving quality care to its patients in Southern Luzon since 1994. It received its ISO 9001:2008 certification in 2013, proof of the hospital’s international quality standards.
