Seremban Hospital bags top award
PETALING JAYA: Seremban Hospital gained international recognition when it was named the winner of the “Governance or Social Responsibility” category of the 2004 Asian Hospital Management Awards held in Bangkok, Thailand yesterday.
The award was one of eight that went up for grabs, which included categories like customer service, human resource and development, quality medical care, patient safety, information technology and e-commerce, technical services and marketing and brand management.
Asian Hospital Federation (AHF) president Datuk Dr Ridzwan Bakar said in a statement that the award won by Seremban Hospital was for an undertaking that made a difference in the improvement of corporate governance or in responsible leadership, including that of healthcare in the community.
He said Seremban Hospital’s “Volunteer Service Programme” received praises from the panel of judges as it had illustrated that it was possible to present such an initiative at minimal expenditure in today’s landscape of ever increasing costs, utilising a comprehensive pool of volunteers.
A total of 165 entries from 11 countries had been received for the eight categories.
