In recent years, National Kidney and Transplant Institute has assumed a trailblazing role in renal healthcare and organ transplantation in the Philippines and Asia and the Institute has constantly walked the path of service quality.

The Institute’s Total Quality Management advocacy was formally launched on March 28, 2001, a defining milestone in our delivery of quality healthcare. As supported by the Institute’s Quality Policy and Quality Objectives, we maintain service quality in all areas of the hospital. Quality Management is seen in all aspects of our daily operations: from the Medical, Para-Medical, Patient Safety, Infection Control and to the Nursing Services, quality permeates all activities. Incorporating the five pillars of Total Quality Management – 5S, Suggestion Scheme, Quality Circles, ISO - to our Institute has allowed us to be more responsive to the needs of our patients and their families, visitors, and express genuine concern for their utmost comfort, welfare and self-esteem.

We acquired our ISO 9001 : 2000 Certification (Comprehensive Specialty Healthcare Services) in April 25, 2002, and up until now remain the only Philippine Tertiary Government Hospital who has attained the ISO global seal of quality standard. As a result, we have embraced and actualized the concept of Continual Quality Improvement in our services; and we acknowledge that it is through a competent workforce with selfless teamwork, dedication, and sense of accountability that quality improvement and service quality can be achieved.

 
For the past two years, as part of our service quality, we are implementing an efficient Hospital Information System that ensures smooth and prompt processing of your transactions – from Admission until Discharge, requests for diagnostic procedures and release of results, requests for medical supplies and pharmaceuticals, etc.

At NKTI, we make sure that your expectations from us are met; and our commitment to Quality also guarantees that we will exceed your expectations.
