Cebu Doctors' Hospital Unveils Asia's First Two-Level OR

Cebu Doctors' Group of Hospitals marked a new milestone in healthcare innovation with the unveiling of its redesigned lobby, Endo Alpha Theatre, and newly relocated pharmacy during a ribbon-cutting and blessing ceremony on April 10, 2026.

Endo Alpha Theatre: A First in Asia

At the center of the expansion is the Cebu Doc Endo Alpha Theatre, described as the first of its kind in Asia to feature a two-level integrated operating room with a viewing deck. This state-of-the-art facility allows medical professionals and trainees to observe procedures in real time while maintaining strict sterile conditions, bridging advanced patient care with medical education and training.

Modernized Grand Lobby and Pharmacy

The hospital also introduced a modernized grand lobby, reimagined to enhance patient flow, comfort, and overall experience. With a more spacious layout and updated design, the lobby now offers a welcoming environment for patients and visitors, complemented by the addition of a UCC Café, providing a convenient space for rest and refreshments within the hospital grounds.

These upcoming projects aim to enhance both the functionality and patient-centered environment of the hospital, reinforcing CebuDoc’s commitment to delivering world-class healthcare services in the region.
