Patient as Customer
The VisayasMed Mantra
Our patients are the most important people in the hospital - they are the purpose of our work
Customers are the patients for whom our expertise are intended - they do us a favor when we serve them
Patients can exist without us: we cannot without them
Doctors are our healthcare partners who share with us the privilege and the rare opportunity of caring for our patients
Our job is to manage this rare opportunity and this noble privilege delightfully for our patients and meaningfully for us
