The Quezon City General Hospital (QCGH) has been recognized as one of the country’s top hospitals by the New York City–based news magazine Newsweek, ranking 24th nationwide.
It stands out as the only Level III Local Government Unit (LGU) hospital with 10 fully accredited departments and a fellowship training program included in the Top 33 hospitals in the Philippines.
The ranking, conducted in partnership with global data company Statista, evaluated 2,500 hospitals across 32 countries.
Hospitals were assessed based on recommendations from medical experts, hospital quality metrics, patient experience data, and Statista’s Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Implementation Survey.
Mayor Joy Belmonte lauded the recognition, saying, “This is a testament to our commitment to providing our residents with quality healthcare services. We continue to improve our facilities and upgrade our services to address health concerns effectively and to ensure that QCitizens receive the exceptional medical care they deserve.”
Established in 1968, QCGH is a 250-bed tertiary hospital in Barangay Bahay Toro, offering 10 fully accredited training programs in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics-Gynecology, Pediatrics, Family Medicine, Anesthesiology, Pathology, Radiology, Otolaryngology, and Ophthalmology.
It also pioneered the Fellowship Training Program in Geriatric Medicine and specialized fellowship training in ultrasound and CT-MRI through its Radiology Department.
The hospital has previously been commended by the National Institutes of Health of the University of the Philippines Manila for excellence in newborn screening services and received its first unqualified opinion from the Commission on Audit in 2025 for sound fiscal management.
QCGH’s Human Milk Bank and the Quezon City Protection Center were recognized by the Philippine Commission on Women as Gender and Development Local Learning Hubs for promoting women’s rights and gender equality.
To further elevate its medical services, the Quezon City government is expanding the hospital’s facilities and renovating the old QCGH building.
“This recognition will surely inspire us to continue improving our programs and further enhance the quality of medical care we provide to our fellow QCitizens,” said QCGH Medical Director Dr. Josephine Sabando.
