1. Quezon Memorial Medical Center, Katipunan

Coming from the opposite part of the road, you will have to go all the way underneath the flyover to make a U-turn, taking about an extra kilometer overall. There are no nearer U-turn slots available.

2. Medical City Pasig, Ortigas Ave.

From the other side of the street, the U-turn slot is all the way underneath the Ortigas flyover. Bad, there are slots nearer the hospital but U-turns are prohibited. Worse, if you decide to make a right at the street fronting the Valle Verde 5 main gate, you will have to go all the way beyond the gate itself, which is halfway between the Ortigas and J. Vargas intersections. Worst, a left-turn is allowed at the Meralco complex beside it.




It's certainly pathetic how inconvenient it is to get to the hospital from the road across it. I'm sure there are other hospitals in Metro Manila that are like this also. The distance is not the major issue here, but the extra time it will take to get to the emergency room. Shaving off even a few seconds from a typical hospital trip can save lives and further minimize DOAs.

If any of you have connections to the traffic department or LGU concerned, please take immediate action. I myself could do it but I don't know whom to approach and where to approach them.
