According to the report of Phil. Star, WSO has around 3,000 individual and society members and is the only global body entirely dedicated on stroke. Meanwhile, Accreditation Canada International has given the Philippine Heart Center in Quezon City the “diamond level” for the third time for providing high-quality medical services.

The diamond level is the most prestigious award. Accreditation Canada International evaluates healthcare facilities on the basis of quality, safety, risk management, and medical support services ethics.

Our healthcare institutions do not simply serve our kababayans. They do so with world-class services and top-notch care and dedication,” Maria Rosario Vergeire the DOH officer-in-charge said

This further proves the commitment of the Department, together with its partner hospitals to providing quality healthcare service to the Filipino people. We thank each one of our homegrown institutions and healthcare workers for their exemplary delivery of service and care,” Vergeire added.

The report mentioned that, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. pledged to develop specialized hospitals outside the capital area in his inaugural State of the Nation Address in an effort to provide vital healthcare services closer to Filipinos.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed and widened gaps in the nation’s healthcare system, such as obstacles to receiving medical care and the dire status of medical professionals who are routinely overworked but underpaid.
