THE Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) was recently awarded with the coveted ISO 9001:2015 certification for its Quality Management System (QMS) by third party auditor SOCOTEC Certification Philippines Inc. after a series of audit in its head office and regional offices. The state agency has successfully complied with the QMS requirements of the certifying body.

In his acceptance message, PhilHealth president and CEO Emmanuel R. Ledesma Jr. lauded the officers and employees, saying that the “certification is not just a badge of honor (but) a testament to our commitment to excellence, relentless pursuit of improvement, and dedication to creating a more streamlined and effective system for our fellow Filipinos.”/PN
