The Medical City (TMC) is a tertiary care hospital in the Philippines with over forty years experience in hospital operation and administration. Its world-class health care complex serves some 40,000 in-patients and 400,000 out-patients annually. TMC has a medical staff of over 1,000 physicians who are established experts in their various fields of specialization. This core of professionals is complemented by a 2,200-strong human resource complement, engaged in allied medical, administrative and support services.〔http://www.themedicalcity.com/about_us/〕 At the heart of TMC's service philosophy are new paradigms of hospital care addressing the entire continuum of health needs, and the patient as an equal, informed and empowered partner in the pursuit and preservation of health. TMC is accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI), the world’s most prestigious accrediting body for international health care organizations. ==Service Philosophy== TMC has defined for itself the value proposition: ''“Where Patients are Partners.”'' This phrase finds its fullest meaning when the patient is viewed not as a problem to be solved or a charge to be cared for, but as a partner in his own health. Patient partnership means acknowledging the patient's fundamental accountability for his own health, then supporting this with systems, tools and venues for education, open communication, and informed choice. This fresh perspective on the patient's role in health care represents a radical departure from the traditional idea of the patient as a passive recipient of medical services. The organizational base for engaging this unique service philosophy is the Center for Patient Partnership, which develops and delivers individual and group programs designed to provide accurate and actionable health education and information for the benefit of patients, family members, and caregivers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Medical City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
