Isla de Convalecencia, River island in San Miguel, Philippines
Isla de Convalecencia stands in the Pasig River between the districts of San Miguel, Ermita, and Paco, connected by the Ayala Bridge.
The island received its name in the 1830s when the Hospicio General was established for patients from the Hospital of San Juan de Dios.
The Hospicio de San Jose on the island provides care for 403 residents, including children, individuals with special needs, and elderly inhabitants.
Access to the island is available through the Ayala Bridge, with the Philippine Coast Guard maintaining a detachment for Malacañang Palace security.
Two Spanish fortifications, Bastion de San Rafael and Bastion de San Andres, previously occupied the island's strategic position along the Pasig River.
