From 24/7 FastER services to stroke and heart attack pathways, here’s why The Medical City Emergency Room keeps you safe during the holidays.

Emergencies can happen at any time, especially during the holiday rush when reunions, travel, and celebrations often lead to increased slips, falls, food-related illnesses, and time-critical conditions like stroke and heart attack. Here are five reasons to trust The Medical City (TMC) FastER for prompt and reliable emergency care this season.

1. FastER is open 24/7 with efficient patient flow.

The Medical City’s ER remains on full alert all season long, with a doctor-led triage system that ensures immediate and accurate assessment. A digital queuing system helps manage patient flow, and the hospital maintains a 4-hour disposition standard, meaning patients receive a timely diagnosis, treatment plan, or referral to the appropriate unit.

2. PhilHealth assistance is available for emergency care.

Patients may use the PhilHealth Outpatient Emergency Care Benefit, which covers a wide range of symptoms such as chest pain, severe headache, seizures, difficulty breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, high blood pressure, mental health concerns, pregnancy-related emergencies, and more. This helps ease financial worries during unexpected health crises.

3. World-class emergency pathways for stroke and heart attack.

The Medical City is internationally accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI) for its Stroke Program and Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) Program. This means patients receive rapid, evidence-based interventions supported by coordinated emergency pathways designed to minimize delays and improve outcomes.

4.We’re fully prepared for holiday-related emergencies.

Aside from stroke and heart attack, the holidays bring higher cases of foodborne illness and accident-related injuries. TMC’s ER teams anticipate this surge and are equipped to handle increased volume without compromising quality of care.

5. Your safety is the priority—every hour, every day.

Beyond advanced systems and certifications, what truly sets TMC FastER apart is its commitment to providing seamless, expert care when it matters most. Whether during a quiet night or peak holiday rush, patients can count on a skilled multidisciplinary team focused on timely, compassionate, and reliable emergency treatment.

For urgent concerns this season, trust that The Medical City FastER is here for you—day and night, all holidays long.
