LABOR Secretary Silvestre Bello III has expressed optimism over the partnership between the labor department and the Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) to help manage the clinical services of the country’s first hospital for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
At the signing of the memorandum of understanding between DOLE and PGH at the nearly completed OFW Hospital in San Fernando Pampanga on Friday, Bello said the expertise of the government’s top medical institution will add quality to the service and prestige to the name of the facility meant to provide the health requirements of OFWs.
Based on the MOU, PGH will be helping the OFW Hospital in training of clinical and administrative personnel, planning and acquisition of hospital equipment, and formulation of clinical and fiscal process flow.
It will also guide the hospital in the creation of electronic medical record and hospital information system and planning of infrastructure layout in relation to clinical services.
