BGH moves on to transformative governance
Our journey towards provision of effective and affordable medical care and support has taken us to conquer the hardships of institutionalizing an international standard for a quality management system (QMS), which in our case, an ISO certification for 9001:2008 in 2014 and its updated 2015 version in 2018. With our fervent desire to become the leading multi-specialty medical center in Central Luzon by 2022, we wish to continue to move forward to deliver excellent healthcare service by continually improving our system processes and now BGH has moved to adopt a Performance Governance System (PGS).
