In yesterday’s Philippine Daily Inquirer issue (Sunday, Dec. 21, 2008), Unilab is awarded the country’s first and only Philippine Quality awardee.
The Philippine Quality Award, or PQA is adapted directly from the strict standards of Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Awards.
Unilab is one of the country’s leading manufacturer and distributor of a wide range of prescription and consumer health products covering all major therapeutic categories. The company is 100% Filipino-owned but with a strong presence in the ASEAN region. It is cited for its excellent performance across a broad range of criteria covering everything from leadership and strategic planning, costumer focus, work force focus and overall business results.
The award just validates Unilab’s mission, which is to provide the best quality and affordable healthcare to Asia, and to recognize the value of its 3,000-man workforce. Unilab’s principles are quality, affordability, service to community, and the “Bayanihan” spirit.
I am one of the happy customers of Unilab, so I congratulate them in this new achievement, and I wish them more success.
