Who We Are?

History

Hospital Metropolitano opened its doors in February 2010 looking to providing a safe, high-quality, accessible and innovative private medical option for everyone.

Dr. Roberto Herrera and his brother Javier decided to undertake the task of providing the middle class of the country with a medical alternative that combined excellent service, impeccable quality, and an affordable price for all users. All of this combined with a convenient location and a strong desire to innovate in healthcare programs and promotion.

This initiative received support from a group of investors led by Novita Capital. In this way, market studies and planning were carried out between 2008 and 2009, aimed at finding the ideal hospital model that fully complied with the pillars of SAFETY, QUALITY, ACCESSIBILITY, and INNOVATION, which resulted in the start of operations of Hospital Metropolitano in February 2010.

Six months later, Grupo Montecristo assumed control of the center with a clear financial vision and a traditional sense of social responsibility. This incorporation added indispensable components to Hospital Metropolitano to become the most successful hospital in the country, including operational experience and financial strength. Thus, Grupo Montecristo is in charge of all administrative and financial management, which allows hospital members to focus exclusively on their operation.
