PCMC during the Proficiency Stage
Last January 22, 2020, the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA) facilitated a Strategy Review which helped PCMC calibrate its position, as the National Reference Center for advanced pediatric specialty care. The shift is based on the Republic Act 11223, also known as the Universal Health Care (UHC), which sets the direction for the reform of the health care sector in the Philippines.
The Philippine Children’s Medical Center, being a Referral or “Apex” hospital is geared to provide tertiary and quaternary specialty care services for children and high risk pregnant women, in line with UHC. Quaternary care is an extension of tertiary care in reference to advanced levels of medicine which are highly specialized and not widely accessed. The scope of a Quaternary Care Facility will include highly specialized medical, surgical or diagnostic procedures, including Clinical Research done for safety and efficacy of new drugs, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens intended for human use.
Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, PCMC strives to continue its journey as the workforce flexibly adjusts to all the challenges that lie ahead.
Last November 24, 2021 the entire PCMC is in the state of jubilation as it triumphantly passed the Proficiency Stage of the Performance Governance System (PGS) and received a Silver Trailblazer award via Zoom Conference.
