WHO WE ARE
AC Health is the portfolio company of the Ayala group for its healthcare investments. It aims to address the unmet need for accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare for all Filipinos by building, investing, and connecting various businesses into an integrated and seamless ecosystem of services across the continuum of care. AC Health proactively invests across three pillars of healthcare: Pharma, Clinics and Hospitals, and Digital Health.
AC Health’s investments in pharma aim to establish a supply chain and drug retail network that deliver a wider range of quality, affordable medicine to more Filipinos. This includes Generika Drugstore, a pioneer in generic retail pharmacies established in 2003 which has grown into a chain of over 700 branches nationwide. Meanwhile, its importer and distributor arm, IE Medica and MedEthix, have become key industry players and have established their presence across various therapeutic areas.
AC Health offers patients an integrated care delivery network across primary, specialty, and multi-specialty platforms through its clinics and hospitals pillar. This includes the recently expanded Healthway network, now the country’s largest chain of retail clinics. Towards the end of 2020, AC Health also announced its partnership with Cancer Treatment Services International, a Varian company, for its specialty cancer hospital to be built in Taguig by 2023. AC Health also acquired a controlling stake of the QualiMed Health Network, expanding its network with four general hospitals, more than 85 outpatient clinics, and about 80 corporate clinics.
AC Health also continues to build and invest in health technology solutions through Vigos. Launched in 2018, Vigos’ portfolio of in-house solutions includes healthcare superapp HealthNow, a joint project with Globe’s 917Ventures that acts as a comprehensive digital platform for online consultations, medicine order and delivery, and diagnostics-booking.
