Listen, Empathise, Act and Delight – the IHH approach to service excellence is embraced throughout our entire network for the first time, as colleagues around the world rejoiced and partook in the inaugural IHH Service Week between 23 and 27 August. From games and activities to awards and recognition, we soaked them up, all in the name of building trust with our patients and internal stakeholders. Check out the highlights from the various markets.
The theme for Service Week ‘Together LEADing Service’ is an apt reminder that we should always Listen, Empathise, Act and Delight, not only towards our patients and their families, but also to our fellow colleagues and doctor partners.

Thank you for touching lives and transforming care, one patient, one family and one touch at a time.” - Dr Kelvin Loh, IHH Managing Director & CEO
