The Ospital ng Maynila has reached a new milestone in public healthcare after successfully performing its first angioplasty procedures, signaling the hospital's entry into advanced cardiac care.

Manila City Health Officer Dr. Grace Padilla announced on Saturday, March 28, that two angioplasty procedures were completed on March 27, calling the achievement a long-awaited breakthrough for the city's health system.

“We are very excited and happy to announce na nagawa natin ang dalawang successful cases of angioplasty (that we successfully completed two angioplasty cases),” Dr. Padilla said.

The achievement comes months after the hospital opened its catheterization laboratory in September 2025.

Initially performing angiograms, the facility has now progressed to more advanced interventional procedures, allowing residents access to lifesaving cardiac care closer to home.
