From subdivisions, malls and convenience stores, he’s now getting involved in hospitals.
Former senator and businessman Manny Villar is now venturing into the healthcare industry by building a chain of hospitals under his business group’s hospital unit, Vitacare Healthcare Incorporated.
“Vitacare aims to offer 3,000 hospital beds across the country over the next five years. It recently signed a partnership with a group of doctors for the construction of a 100-bed hospital in Vista City, Daanghari, Muntinlupa, that would cost PHP500 million (USD$10.60 million),” reports Rappler.
Villar was quoted saying that “the construction of Vitacare hospital in Daanghari will commence in May 2016 and will be completed in two years.” It will be branded as Vitacare Unimed Hospital and Medical Center.
Villar said, “This will be moving very fast. We might have different partners or same partners for different locations.”
The Villar Group also identified other locations for future hospital projects: Parañaque City (Lake Front); Bataan (Balanga); Batangas (Santo Tomas); Bulacan (Malolos and San Jose del Monte); Cavite (General Trias and Tanza); Cebu (Talisay); Cagayan de Oro; Davao; Iloilo (Boton); Naga (Camarines Sur); and Pampanga (San Fernando).
