COMPANY PROFILE
The idea of building a hospital which will cater to the increasing
population of Batangas City and its surrounding municipalities and
barangays paved the way to the construction of the first cooperative
hospital in the Philippines. A small group of practicing doctors
convened and conceptualized the idea of building a hospital that will
offer affordable, accessible and modern facilities. Its main goal is to
make a leader in excellence in the field of medical service. Thus, the
Batangas Health Care Hospital, Jesus of Nazareth, owned by doctors
and private entrepreneurs came into being.
The flagship project of the Batangas Health Care Multipurpose
Cooperative,

registered

under

the

Cooperative

Development

Authority on March 30, 2000, is a four story, 106-bed capacity

medical center with complete health facilities. It would approximate
the services rendered in Metro Manila hospital. It is located on a
4,663 square meter private lot in Barangay Gulod Itaas, Batangas
City. The hospital has facilities which include CT Scan, ultrasound, xray, dialysis, intensive care unit apparatus, stress test, 2DEcho and
ECG machines. In January 2006, a newly acquired Synchron CX4
fully automated chemistry analyzer, running more than two hundred
(200) tests per hour was acquired. In the same year, the Bacteriology
section of the Laboratory Department was also installed.
The single bed rooms classified as Suite and Private, are
spacious, complete with split-type air-conditioning units, television
sets with cable TV, refrigerators, sofa bed and telephone units. The

7
wards are also sizeable, limiting to four patients per ward. It also
boasts of six operating theatres, recovery room, intensive care units,
delivery and labor rooms. At the ground floor the emergency room,
laboratory and x-ray units are on the north wing, while the out-patient,
consultations rooms, pharmacy and the Heart Station are located on
the south wing of the hospital. Two elevators that fit a stretcher can
be found at the same floor. At the basement. the chapel, billing and
PHIC

section,

Artificial

Kidney

Unit,

Eye

Center

and

the

Developmental and Rehabilitation center can be found.

A separate building on the right side of the building is the
canteen catering the dietary needs of the hospital patients. A
separate function room is located at the 2nd floor of the building while
the dining area is at the ground floor.
In case of power failure, a stand-by 200 KVA generator set
automatically turns on in just a few seconds and by January 2009, a
new acquired 300 KVA generator will be installed to fully serve all
private rooms during power failure.. Located also at the back of the
building, a few steps away from the generator is the Rotating
Biological Contractor-Packed Media Technology the hospitals own
waste water treatment facility.
