The People's Hospital applies corporate governance in the management of the company. The management and employees of The People's Hospital are guided by set values that determine the ethics and integrity of each employee.  Moreover, the values of the hospital are used in the determination of the corporate governance in recognizing the responsibilities of patients, employees, shareholders and the community at large.
