COOPERATIVE PROFILE
The Medical Mission Group - Philippines begun as a dream of a group of young physicians of providing quality health care services to the poor, the sector usually devoid of decent and proper health care.
To make the dream a reality, the Medical Mission Group Hospitals and Health Services Cooperative of the Philippines was established in 1982.
Ten years later, MMG Philippines broke new ground when it opened the first cooperatively-owned hospital in the Philippines. Since then, MMG has spread all over the country serving urban centers as well as the countryside.
With more than 50 chapters to
deliver Cooperative Health Care through its Cooperators’ Health Program,
MMG now operates with over 2,000 cooperative member-physicians in basic
fields of specialty.*
