MPIC's mWell expands beyond digital, unveils first physical clinic

Published Jul 22, 2025 03:03 pm
Metro Pacific Investments Corporation’s subsidiary mWell has decided not to remain just a digital platform and has officially launched its first Primary Care Facility (PCF) in Main Square Mall, Bacoor City.
“While a fully integrated digital platform, mWell built the PCF to showcase its Digital Health Suite, particularly the Clinic Management System and the digital Health ID,” MPIC said in a statement.
Powered by the mWell Clinic Management System, the facility provides a seamless, technology-enhanced experience with digital patient records, reduced wait times, and streamlined operations.
In partnership with 1Life Inc., PCF provides diagnostic and laboratory services to ensure speed, accuracy, and convenience in every visit. The PCF is designed to serve as a venue to fully utilize mWell’s digital Health ID.
The "one patient, one record" concept, facilitated by digital IDs, aims to create a single, centralized, and secure electronic health record for each patient, thereby improving data accessibility and reducing errors across different healthcare providers.
The Primary Care Facility enables patients to access medical consultations, diagnostic testing with fast results, maternal and childcare services, immunizations, minor procedures, lifestyle and nutrition counseling, and pre-employment medical exams.
On-site teleconsultations with mWell specialists, combined with wearable health monitoring devices, further enhance the integrated care experience.
“Healthcare is a pillar of national progress,” said MPIC Chairman and CEO and mWell Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan.
He noted that, “While mWell began as a digital platform, we’ve always believed that true impact lies in integration—where technology meets real, on-the-ground care.
“This Primary Care Facility brings that vision to life. It’s a tangible step toward a more inclusive healthcare system, one that ensures that every Filipino—whether online or on-site—has a clear path to better health.”
mWell President and CEO and MPIC Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer Chaye Cabal-Revilla said “The Patient Care Facility reflects our commitment to the national goals of the Universal Health Care Act.”
“Through digital innovation, we’re creating a system that supports early detection, empowers preventive care, and delivers continuity of care.
“PCF will utilize our HealthSuite, a range of enterprise health solutions including Clinic Management Systems and the digital Health ID which is designed to elevate the healthcare experience,” she added.
mWell PCF is set to offer services under the PhilHealth Konsulta program, with accreditation already in progress.
Once launched, qualified PhilHealth members will be able to access consultations, laboratory tests, and select medicines at no additional cost through their benefits. This will further reduce out-of-pocket expenses and expand access to essential healthcare for more Filipinos.
“We are very glad to see private sector providers like mWell help government in the quest for a healthier nation in the provision of primary care,” said Walter Bacareza, PhilHealth Vice President, Northern and Central Luzon (Area I), Concurrent Vice President, Southern Luzon and NCR (Area II).
