St. Martin De Porres Charity Hospital - San Juan, Philippines

St. Martin de Porres Charity Hospital (SMPCH) is a project of the Dominican Family of San Juan since 1959 but had depended solely on Divine Providence.
Originally known as the Blessed Martin de Porres Free Clinic, the St. Martin de Porres Charity Hospital (SMPCH) started as a tiny seed in just a simple one-room at the ground floor of the Covenant of the Dominican Fathers in San Juan, Rizal (now San Juan City) on September 27, 1959. The setting up of a free clinic was the generous response of the members of the Dominican Tertiaries (now Dominican Laity), headed by Dr. Aleli R. Guzman Quirino, O.P., to the Lord’s command of love which serve as an inspiration for them to give aid to the needy through medical and either related services.
