Pasig City, Philippines — January 9, 2025: The Medical City (TMC) and Rizal Medical Center (RMC) have officially signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to establish the Joint TMC-RMC Liver Transplant Program. This partnership marks a significant step forward in addressing the growing burden of liver diseases in the Philippines, providing hope for patients in need of advanced care without leaving the country.

The Joint TMC-RMC Liver Transplant Program seeks to improve Filipinos' access to liver transplant services while addressing the critical challenges in organ donation.
