Calalang General Hospital started its
health and medical services in the mid
1960’s serving the community of Marulas,
Valenzuela as Calalang Maternity and
Children’s Clinic. It was founded by
spouses Fidel R. Calalang, MD and Mary
Gener Calalang, MD who teamed up to
render one of the first health services
in that town. Marulas, Valenzuela,
during that time, had a very small
residential population and scarcely had
any industrial or commercial
establishments. Calalang Maternity and
Children’s Clinic operated as a lying-in
clinic, housing a few beds and
laboratory facilities.
After several years have passed, the
volume of patients coming in to the
clinic has been growing consistently.
Patronage of Calalang Maternity has
increased considerably. Coupled with the
growing resident population and the
industrialization of the town, the
increasing demand for medical and health
care has prodded the owners to respond
by upgrading the maternity clinic to a
secondary general hospital. Thus, in
1974, Calalang Maternity and Children’s
Clinic evolved into Calalang General
Hospital, housing a 35-bed capacity,
complete X-ray and Laboratory facilities
in a new building.
In the entry of the 1990’s, Valenzuela
has grown into a highly industrialized
and densely populated town. By this
time, the Municipality is considering
itself to be recognized as a city, since
it has grown in measures worthy to be
one. Thus, growth has again been the
issue to be addressed in the 90’s. In
1994, Calalang General Hospital has been
incorporated. And in 1997, with
Ferdinand G. Calalang, MD, MHA as the
Hospital Administrator, the old building
was replaced by a newly constructed 4
storey building, housing a bed capacity
of 50 and new hospital facilities. The
building had also been designed to evoke
a homey atmosphere for the patients. Now
the hospital has been consistently
operating at 76% average occupancy.
Supported by affiliate visiting
consultants, medical services have
broadened to address the different areas
of specialties, which serve a wider
patient base with varied illnesses.
Since its incorporation, the hospital
has been engaging in regular community
outreach programs like free
immunization, free pre-natal check-ups,
mother’s class, breastfeeding program,
hormonal replacement therapy, preventive
medicine lectures, free diabetes clinic
and the year-end free medical clinic.
And because of its cost efficient yet
high quality medical services, it has
gained the patronage of the residents of
its community and even those of the
neighboring towns.
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN KNOWN FOR
Since the start, Calalang General
Hospital has been regarded as a health
care provider that approaches
patient-care with family-like treatment
and warmth, thus a confident and
comfortable atmosphere for the patients.
And as it maintains a lean organization,
patients and families continue to enjoy
the highly personal service which
ensures quick responses to their needs.
Medical services exude the acumen and
professional adroit to which the
hospital has been reputed and at the
same time, sensitive to the cost
tolerance of the clientele. Thus, they
have been pragmatic and efficient but
most importantly, effective in their
treatments. All these… for the patients’ wellbeing.

first option for both sick and
well-patients when it comes to hospital
care, thus becoming the most preferred
