We believe healthcare serves as a cornerstone for societal well-being and progress. One of the first things patients notice at UMC Victoria Hospital is how thoughtfully the hospital has been planned. Spread across seven floors with a capacity of 70 beds, it is among the largest private tertiary care hospitals in the country. Outpatient services are conveniently located on the ground and first floors, with eight consultation rooms designed to reduce waiting time and confusion. Diagnostic services, blood bank, emergency care, and dialysis units are placed close to where they are most needed. This may sound technical, but for patients, it means less running around, faster decisions, and smoother care, especially during emergencies.
