“IHC is first and foremost a company where our commitment to the people we serve and with whom we work drives what we do. We are passionate about it. Our principles: Quality, Sustainability and Ethics aren’t just words on a page. They are how we run the Company.”
We understand that advances in medicine are taking place all over the world. We make it our business to follow those developments, so you can take full advantage of them. It’s worth remembering that many of the medical procedures we enjoy today were pioneered far outside our home communities. Did you know, for example, the first heart transplant was performed in South Africa? We do the same with our management practices, so that we can blend the best of our international expertise, strong local knowledge and cultural integration in order for our system to bring its patients the best patient experience and care possible.
IHC owns and manages hospitals modeled after state-of-the-art facilities and provides a full range of basic and sophisticated surgical, emergency and diagnostic services. We actively seek new opportunities where we can provide strong medical care options.
IHC’s growth strategies focus on the following objectives:
“IHC has developed a philosophy of care we call Carelosophy. The three elements that make up Carelosophy include 360-degree vision, empathy and commitment. First, because we espouse 360-degree vision, we can see what is taking place in the care environment.”
IHC team members are taught to be involved in and concerned about every detail of the health care experience because we take care of people, their healthcare needs and their emotions. Next, we are empathetic and care about and for every patient, give them warm service and inspire trust. Because we develop close relationships with our patients and their families, we are memorable. Finally, we are committed. Our people understand that a unique healthcare setting cannot be built by indifferent people. Being truly unique in way that makes a difference in people’s lives requires teamwork and focus. Our attention to the elements of Carelosophy makes us the best hospitals in our respective regions.
IHC initiatives are based on the Company’s shared values of Quality, Sustainability and Ethics. The highest quality is the standard for our medical and patient safety programs. Sustainability is the simple recognition that only good business practices can make hospitals viable over long periods of time. Ethics reflect our moral responsibility necessary when dealing with human life.
