Health Secretary Enrique T. Ona today (March 14, 2011) led the ceremony and parade inside the Department of Health (DOH) compound for the launching of the DOH’s journey towards ISO (International Organization for Standardization) certification.In his message, Ona encouraged members of the executive committee, regional directors, chiefs of the corporate and special hospitals, central office directors, and all DOH employees and DOH partners to make this happen, stating these three words ,”kaya natin ‘to!”,with enthusiasm and conviction.
During the ceremony, Health Assistant Secretary Gerardo Bayugo discussed what is ISO and what it takes to become ISO-certified. According to him, the system starts by documenting one’s task then strictly observing duties accordingly and finding ways to improve and become more efficient and effective.
Bayugo added that ISO is taking steps towards achieving excellence. “If an institution is ISO certified, then it should be efficient and will be able to minimize wastage in time, efforts and resources to hurdle over unorganized and unnecessary processes”, Bayugo reiterated.
In the same event, Health Human Resource Development Bureau Director Dr. Kenneth G. Ronquillo acknowledged the ISO ad hoc committee, the deputy quality management representatives and the ad hoc secretariat.
