Ohio-based Bon Secours Mercy Health (BSMH) announced plans to invest up to USD 500 million to expand its operations in the Philippines, including the development of a state-of-the-art tertiary hospital. The disclosure was made following a meeting between BSMH officials and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during his July visit to Washington, D.C.
BSMH, a USD 13 billion Catholic health system, currently employs about 170 people in the Philippines through subsidiaries Nordic and Bon Secours Mercy Health Philippines, which provide IT and back-end support. The planned expansion aims to increase the local workforce to around 1,200 employees.
BSMH President and CEO John Starcher said the move reflects the company’s commitment to providing premium healthcare access in the Philippines. Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs Frederick Go welcomed the investment as a “vote of confidence” in the country and a boost to its healthcare and services sectors.
