About the Provider

Manila Adventist College was first established as a dispensary in July 1927 in Malate, Manila, spearheaded by Dr. Horace Hall, an American missionary. The dispensary was soon turned into a small hospital, then later into a new 3-storey building. This was named Manila Sanitarium and Hospital (MSH), which earned a good reputation throughout the Philippines for its efficient nursing service, pleasant Christian atmosphere, clean surroundings, nutritious vegetarian food, hydrotherapy treatments and patient education on the principles of healthful living.

From 1930 to 1959, MSH offered a three-year School of Nursing program (Graduate Nurse), which was been endorsed later to Philippine Union College (now Adventist University of the Philippines) in 1967. The hospital was expanded with the construction of another three-storey concrete building adjacent to the existing one in 1931. Due to the steadily increasing patronage, the “first” hospital had to be sold. In 1940 a new four-storey concrete hospital building was constructed in its present location in 1975 corner Donada and San Juan Street, Pasay City.
