Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed) earned three Silver Anvil Awards at the 61st Anvil Awards, which was organized by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP).

With the theme, “The 61st Second: Pushing Past Possibilities”, the award ceremony was held on January 28 to honor the impactful and strategic public relations campaigns across the country.

Under the Public Relations Programs – Employee Engagement category, MakatiMed was honored for its Gabay 2.0 Mental Health and Wellness Program, an institutionalized initiative that provides sustained mental health support for hospital employees through psychological consultations, mindful interventions, and psychosocial support training.

MakatiMed also received a Silver Anvil under Marketing and Brand Communication for its QR Code Scheduling: Digital Innovation for Patient Convenience Program. The said scheduling simplifies outpatient procedure bookings through a mobile-accessible digital system.

The program has recorded steady adoption and an average of 83% conversion rate, supporting the hospital’s patient-focused digital transformation efforts.

Completing the wins is the Red Light Project, which was awarded under the Advocacy/ Public Awareness/ Cause Related Programs. Led by the Hematology Section and the Hospital Blood Transfusion Committee, the initiative uses red lights atop the MakatiMed building to signal critically low blood supply and encourage timely blood donations, raising public awareness on the importance of blood donation.

Anchored in the spirit of “Pushing Past Possibilities”, these recognitions underscore MakatiMed’s continued commitment to moving beyond traditional approaches, strengthening employee wellbeing, enhancing patient access through digital innovation, and advancing advocacy initiatives that create meaningful impact on the community it serves.
