Located along Quirino Ave. in Bgy. La Huerta in Paranaque City, OsPar 1 is the first local government hospital in the city which has been servicing customers and caring for patients for over 45 years and an accredited healthcare provider by Philhealth.

This year, representatives from the city government and PLDT Enterprise celebrated the turnover ceremony of the Dialysis Center at the lobby of OsPar 1, marking a pivotal moment in the hospital’s digital transformation journey.

The partnership entails the upgrade of all PLDT Enterprise services at OsPar I, including connectivity, telephony systems, structured cabling, and broadband.

With the integration of PLDT Enterprise's SIP Trunks and Managed PABX solutions, all departments within the hospital, including the emergency room, delivery room, operating room, outpatient department, and ancillary services, will be interconnected for seamless and efficient communication among hospital staff and constituents of the City Government of Paranaque.

Vincent R. Rodriguez, PLDT Enterprise Business Head, expressed the company's enthusiasm for supporting the City Government of Paranaque in building the new wing of OsPar I by providing strong, steady, and secure internet broadband connections.
