DoubleDragon, MyHealth ink deal for clinics at CityMalls

MANILA, Philippines — DoubleDragon’s CityMall Commercial Centers Inc. has partnered with MyHealth Clinics which will pave the way for the establishment of medical centers  across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

The partnership, signed yesterday, will enable MyHealth to roll out multi-specialty medical clinics in CityMalls.

The first batch of clinics will be built in the next 12 months in 12 CityMall locations — four each in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

The ultimate goal is to establish MyHealth clinics in CityMalls nationwide.

DoubleDragon chairman Edgar “Injap” Sia II said the addition of state-of-the-art medical and dental clinics in CityMalls bodes well for the company’s community mall network.

“We will now have the best modern retail brands, the strongest fastfood brands, the leading entertainment cinemas and the foremost medical clinic provider all in one roof. These strong alliances further solidifies the relevance of CityMalls in the communities we serve,” Sia said.

A member of the Equicom Group and an affiliate of Maxicare Healthcare Corp., the largest HMO in the Philippines, MyHealth is one of the country’s largest networks of full-service ambulatory clinics offering extensive and comprehensive outpatient healthcare products and services.

It is among the first to fully utilize digital technologies in patient care and telemedicine which enables access to highly specialized healthcare providers, from consultations to diagnosis remotely.

MyHealth has a portfolio of almost 500 medical specialists all over the country interfacing with each other exchanging information and knowledge which clinic customers can benefit from.

“The whole DoubleDragon team is determined to make CityMall the new center of gravity of every provincial community in the Philippine countryside,” Sia also said.

The company has a target to complete a leasable portfolio of 1.2 Million square meters by 2020 comprising of 700,000 square meters from 100 CityMalls, 300,000 sqm from its Metro Manila office projects DD Meridian Park and Jollibee Tower, 100,000 square meters from the planned 5,000 hotel rooms of Hotel 101 and JinJiang Inn Philippines, and another 100,000 sqm of industrial space from various CentralHub sites across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
