Maestro Holdings, RelianceUnited team up for smarter healthcare services

Tanco-led Maestro Holdings and RelianceUnited – a subsidiary of United Laboratories (Unilab), the leading pharmaceutical company in the Philippines and SouthEast Asia, have formed a partnership that would give members of pioneering health maintenance organization PhilCare access to RelianceUnited’s full-service HealthFirst Clinic.

“This is just the beginning of our wonderful journey as partners united in the mission to be a reliable healthcare provider to Filipinos.”

RelianceUnited aims to provide simpler and better corporate healthcare to Filipino employees armed with its comprehensive network of healthcare facilities, high-quality service, and automated processes.

PhilCare members can now enjoy consultations and laboratory diagnostic tests in HealthFirst Clinic branches in Metro Manila and Cebu.

HealthFirst Clinic is located in Mandaluyong, Cubao, Cebu, Alabang, and Eastwood, with another opening in Bonifacio Global City in the first quarter of 2023.

The partnership also brings comfort and convenience to another level by providing PhilCare members an exclusive co-branded area in HealthFirst Clinic branches to save them from long queues, and by allowing them to easily schedule annual medical exams, and see lab results conveniently online.

“Through the partnership, we get to further live out our mission to deliver quality, personalized care in a cost-effective way to Filipinos,” RelianceUnited President David San Pedro said.

“With our pursuit aligned, I believe PhilCare and HealthFirst will achieve more in the near future.”
