Corporate Governance Policies
The Compliance Unit, under the guidance of MPH’s Legal and Compliance Department, implements the Corporate Governance Policies which are applicable to all executives, employees, hospital affiliates, schools, ambulatory health service providers, and third-party contractors. Regular reports and monitoring are in place to keep track of whistleblowing reports, gift registry, government interactions, donations, sponsorships, and grants, and other deviations from the policies.

Conflict-Of-Interest Policy
The COI Policy serves as the hospital’s guidelines to ensure that no actual or perceived conflict of interest will occur as Company Personnel carry out transactions for the company. The policy states that all actual and perceived conflict of interest must be disclosed to avoid personal relationships and interests from interfering with the hospital’s best interest.
Gift and Hospitality Policy
The hospital’s Gift and Hospitality Policy is intended to provide guidelines by which directors, officers, executives, employees, consultants, and third-party contractors alike follow in their conduct of gift giving and receiving. The hospital recognizes that gifts can be an integral part of creating business relationships however, gift giving and receiving must be made within the limits to avoid misinterpretation or the creation of undue and improper obligation on the part of the recipient.
Whistleblowing Policy
The Whistleblowing Policy is in place to encourage Company Personnel, including third party partners, to report and disclose any suspected deviation from the established Corporate Governance Policies. The policy, however, emphasizes that reports are to be made in good faith and not for personal gain or interest. While the Compliance Unit takes all reports seriously, employees found to have made deliberate false and/or malicious reports with ulterior motives shall be subject to disciplinary action according to the Employee Handbook.
In the company’s effort to protect reporters from possible retaliation, the whistleblowing channel allows them to report anonymously and confidentially. The ProActive Hotline ensures that reports can be done easily and that reports will be addressed promptly.
