Taguig City Opens Outpatient Department, Laboratory and Radiology Unit of New General Hospital

The Taguig City General Hospital Outpatient Department (TGH-OPD) officially opened its doors on January 30, 2025, making quality healthcare more accessible to residents.

Located along C6 Road in Barangay Hagonoy, the TGH-OPD is a modern facility set to revolutionize healthcare delivery for Taguigeños, marking the first step towards the development of a full-fledged Level 2 hospital.

It is equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment offering a wide range of outpatient, laboratory, and radiology services.

Free outpatient consultations are available, covering various specialties and subspecialties such as Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Pulmonology, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Pediatrics.

In addition to consultations, the outpatient department provides specialized procedures, including electrocardiograms (ECG), minor surgery, spirometry, and nebulization. Laboratory diagnostics such as hematology, clinical microscopy, microbiology, and clinical chemistry are also available, along with radiology services, including diagnostic X-rays, ultrasound, and CT scans.

To ensure that quality healthcare remains accessible to all, TGH-OPD offers a 40% discount for Taguig residents on outpatient, laboratory, and radiology services. In addition, senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs) receive an extra 20% discount. For those in need of further assistance, the Malasakit Center is available to provide additional medical and financial support.

Mayor Lani Cayetano led the dedication of TGH-OPD. She said that its opening reflects the city’s Transformative, Lively, and Caring vision. She assured the public that the city would provide continuous support for the operations of both the Taguig General Hospital and Taguig-Pateros District Hospital.

Operating from Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the TGH-OPD aims to meet the growing healthcare demands of the city’s residents. While the facility currently does not admit emergency cases, these services will be made available soon upon the completion of other hospital departments.

Free shuttle services from the Vista Mall Parking Building (Camella Road, Barangay Tuktukan) and in front of Baymart (Gen. Santos Avenue, Lower Bicutan) are available daily from 7:30 a.m. to help residents easily reach the hospital for their consultations and other procedures.

The construction of the outpatient department was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the City of Taguig and Senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano. The city government spearheaded the funding, while the senators facilitated additional financial support from the Department of Health and the Department of Public Works and Highways.
