MANILA, Philippines — AC Health, the Ayala Group’s health care arm, has brought Northern Luzon’s trusted drugstore to Metro Manila.

AC Health said it has launched a St. Joseph Drug branch inside Healthway FEU-NRMF Medical Center.

St. Joseph Drug is a dominant pharmacy chain in North Luzon with nearly 130 stores and 67 years of retail pharmacy history.

The opening of St. Joseph Drug branch Healthway FEU-NRMF marks its first location in Metro Manila and introduces its pioneering outpatient store format.

As part of the AC Health group, St. Joseph Drug and Healthway FEU-NRMF bring complementary strengths to the partnership.

“For us at AC Health, this reflects how synergy across our ecosystem comes to life. By working together across our ecosystem, we turn integration into real, everyday impact as we continue to transform health for every Filipino,” AC Health president and CEO Paolo Borromeo said.

AC Health, which was established in 2015, has rapidly grown into one of the country’s most dynamic and integrated health care networks.

Its portfolio includes Healthway Medical Network, a network of multi-specialty clinics, ambulatory centers and full-service hospitals; Generika Drugstore, the pioneer in generic retail pharmacies; IE Medica and MedEthix, a major pharmaceutical importer and distributor; and St. Joseph Drug, a leading retail pharmacy in North and Central Luzon.

“Our mission has always been clear: to serve every community — whether big or small, urban or rural — and to make health care accessible to all,” St. Joseph Drug’s chief strategy and innovations officer Paolo Bernal said.

“This partnership with Healthway FEU-NRMF Medical Center is more than just a collaboration; it is a stepping stone toward AC Health Group’s shared vision of transforming health for every Filipino,” he said.
