RATIONALE OF THE RESEARCH
At the national level, the competition for capital and investment is fierce among local
governments. They offer attractive location-based incentives to lure job-generating
investments to their communities. This scenario is not distinct in the healthcare sector,
specifically in the hospital industry.
The Department of Health estimated that in 2012, Filipinos spend about 285 billion
pesos for healthcare services; with the residents of Lucena City spending 960 million
pesos or roughly 0.3% of the national expenditures for health. Lucena City, being
strategically located, has the potential to have a share of 1% from a mere 0.3% of this
expenditure figures which will translate to 2.85 billion peso addition to Lucena City’s
economy. From this ambitious yet attainable idea, this study was conceptualized to
transform Lucena City the destination of choice for healthcare investment.
RATIONALE OF THE RESEARCH
Lucena City is considered a highly urbanized city with a total population of 246,392
(Census of 2010). There are 5 major players in the healthcare industry in Lucena namely
MMG Hospital, Lucena United Doctors Hospital, Mount Carmel Diocesan General
Hospital, Saint Anne General Hospital and the Quezon Medical Center.
In spite of the availability of tertiary care in the city, many are still referred to Manila
hospitals for further medical and/or surgical care. There are patients who are referred for
diagnostics reasons alone.
RATIONALE OF THE RESEARCH
Such phenomena results in income loss for affected business establishments. These
business establishments offer employment opportunities for the community, which
contribute greatly to the city’s economic activity. Furthermore, this phenomenon is an
opportunity for healthcare investors to fill-up the gaps.
The case of Lucena City as one of the centers for healthcare and wellness services in the
region is promising given the macro-infrastructure of ample availability of healthcare
and wellness providers, e.g. physicians, nurses and caregivers.
This study evaluated the current status of the healthcare industry in Lucena City and
defined a model as guide in transforming the city into an investment-friendly locality for
healthcare industry.
