CEBU DOC NAMED MOST OUTSTANDING HOSPITAL
Cebu Doctors University Hospital has been awarded as the 2018 Most Outstanding Hospital - Level 3, Private by the Philippine Hospital Association (PHA) last Nov. 14 at the Fiesta Pavillon, Manila Hotel.
The hospital was recognized for its excellence in the fields of service, training, research and governance as an inspiration to over 2,000 member hospitals during the PHA 69th Annual National Convention.
“It is high time that the PHA gives recognition to its members who operate with excellence and aspire to be counted among outstanding hospital. This award will be bestowed to its members who share and live by the organization’s vision of leading, enabling, assisting and protecting world class hospitals,” said Dr. Edgardo V. Salud, chairman of PHA Awards Committee.
Throughout the years, PHA seeks to recognize the three coveted recognitions: the Most Outstanding Hospital Award, the Most Outstanding Chapter, and the Most Outstanding Council Award.
Within just a year, under the leadership of its new chairman, Dr. Potenciano “Yong” Larrazabal III, the hospital has been upgrading remarkably in response to the patients’ healthcare and wellness needs.
With its continuous commitment to compassion, quality and innovation, CebuDoc embarked on a brand new perspective in healthcare through the opening of its Wellness Complex and Centers like the Center for Aesthetics and Laser, Concierge Office, and to be followed by Center for Hyperbaric Medicine, Center for Dental Care and among other developments, including additional parking spaces.
“They can expect better facilities and better services. That’s our goal. Our goal is really perfection and of course, for the general well-being of the patient; everything that we can make better for the patient, we will do it,” Larrazabal said.
“It makes me even more inspired to strive even harder to improve, not only for CDUH but for the rest of the hospital group as well. It inspires me more to gather more ideas and to implement plans that we have talked about,” Larrazabal added.
With CebuDoc recognized as the Most Outstanding Hospital among PHA’s 2060 member hospitals, CebuDoc Group chairman Larrazabal and Dr. Jose Antonio Quiteves, assistant medical director of CebuDoc, received the award from PHA officials and Department of Health Assistant Secretary Elmer Punzalan.
