By Corporate Social Responsibility Office, Manila Doctors Hospital<br />
Manila Doctors Hospital (MDH) is the first and only private hospital in the Philippines to ever<br />
commit to and publicly declare a “social vision.” Since then, corporate social responsibility<br />
(CSR) has become deeply embedded in the corporate culture of MDH. It is a conscious effort<br />
that we align our CSR programs with both the international and national commitments<br />
for human development. In combining applicability, sustainability, and replicability in CSR<br />
program implementation, MDH is now creating a path toward program sustainability, which<br />
thrives on synergy.<br />
World-class care for social service<br />
patients<br />
As a private hospital, MDH must face<br />
the challenge of making the business<br />
financially viable while also making every<br />
effort to pursue expansion. This challenge<br />
does not deter us from recognizing that<br />
access to health is a basic human right. In<br />
a country where, because of poverty, 30<br />
percent die without seeing a doctor and<br />
only two out of ten living in poverty have<br />
access to free healthcare, it is considered<br />
an audacious move for a private hospital<br />
that caters to upper-income groups to<br />
accept patients with unreliable resources.<br />
MDH social service patients are given<br />
access to holistic medical intervention,<br />
consultation, laboratory discounts, basic<br />
family planning counseling, as well as<br />
additional financial support for those<br />
who need confinement or are suffering<br />
from complicated medical conditions. To<br />
further secure the quality of care, a social<br />
worker of the hospital conducts an aftercare<br />
home visit. These home visits give us<br />
an opportunity to convince patients who<br />
fail to come for follow-up consultations<br />
to cooperate with the treatment / recovery<br />
plan. In 2014 alone, MDH provided various<br />
healthcare interventions to a total<br />
of 25,477 social service patients.<br />
In response to the country cooperation<br />
strategy with the World Health Organization,<br />
MDH engages in capacitating<br />
individuals, families, and communities<br />
