FUMC cares to give the best

FATIMA University Medical Center (FUMC) has been at the forefront of medical and hospital service in northern Metro Manila for the past 45 years.

From a mere 20-bed general hospital, FUMC has grown to a 150-bed capacity tertiary hospital with the latest facilities, continually serving and providing primary healthcare to the residents of Valenzuela, Malabon, Caloocan, Navotas and even Bulacan.

The year 1967, marked the auspicious beginnings of what is to become a premier educational institution in the country particularly in the field of medicine, nursing, and paramedical courses. It all started when Jose C. Olivares, a chemistry professor by vocation but with strong entrepreneurial spirit, and his son-in-law, Dr. Vicente M. Santos, an obstetrician, founded the Our Lady of Fatima Hospital in 1967. It soon became the primary provider of medical services to the residents of Valenzuela and its neighboring towns. With a vision of creating medical complex that will be a training center for competent health care providers, Mr. Olivares created the Fatima Medical Science Foundation Inc., and initially established the Our Lady of Fatima College of Nursing in 1973.

With the new and latest technology, FUMC was able to provide a range of alternative treatments and best possible care for the immediate and excellent recovery of our patients. FUMC believes in empowering our patients with the right information for them to attain a healthy and active life.

As a teaching hospital, FUMC prepares medical and nursing student practitioners to become the best in their field and to overcome the challenges that face different communities of the world. Students are trained in skills and knowledge and mentored to impart best practices and values. FUMC sets the stage for medical and nursing student practitioners, for advance training and specialties that equips them for employment anywhere in the world.
