Under Executive Order 391, effective January 1, 1951, PGH was reorganized but continued under the supervision and control of the University of the Philippines.
In 1954, President Ramon Magsaysay separated PGH from the UPCM administratively.
The following years witnessed the establishment of different units and clinics attesting to the physical and organizational growth of the hospital that enabled it to provide a wide range of health care services to patients and training for health students and health workers.

In 1992, the PGH Outpatient Department was given the Salamin ng Bayan award.

In 2009, PGH was audited by the Anglo-Japanese-American (AJA) Registrars, Inc. and was subsequently granted the much coveted ISO 9001:2008 certificate for having complied with internationally-accepted quality management system standards.
In 2012, PGH was given the Pro-active Programs Achievement Award in the two categories - Quality and Productivity Category and Family Welfare and Community Relations Programs Category by the Department of Trade and Industry – Center for Industrial Competitiveness in its annual Search for Model Companies. This award was given to companies that contribute to the national effort in the promotion of industrial peace and harmony, improved productivity, and competitiveness.
