‘The Pharmacy Of Your Choice’ under the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer Roseanne Camilleri within the Ministry of Health, the Elderly and Community Care was awarded the top two awards presented during the Malta People Awards 2011 organised by the Foundation for Human Resources Development [FHRD].
The two awards secured by the Pharmacy of Your Choice are related to ‘People Management Impact on Business Success’ sponsored by GO and ‘Employee Engagement’ sponsored by the Malta International Airport. The number of participating companies has risen from 13 in 2009 to 23 in 2010.
CEO Roseanne Camilleri said that this is the first time that the Pharmacy Of Your Choice [POYC] participated in the event, and expressed her great satisfaction in having received such outstanding awards. She highlighted the tasks linked with this ambitious project and the dedication and commitment warranted by her team in its realisation for the benefit of the public at large. Ms Camilleri thanked the Minister of Health and the leadership of the Ministry for having extended their full support for the successful implementation of this endeavour. Ms Camilleri conveyed gratitude to all her team at POYC without whose meaningful input, the POYC would not have reached such levels of recognition.
The awards signify the recognition of the professionalism, competence and the contribution of each organisation to the country and the general public in particular. The Awards also acknowledge the ability of the winning organisation to understand its business objectives as it identifies and leverages its human resources’ capabilities thereby enhancing its competitive edge.
The POYC is responsible for the introduction of the POYC Scheme nationwide by end 2012, thereby allowing a more comfortable access to Government’s free pharmaceutical service to the beneficiaries. To-date, over 64,300 patients in 47 localities are benefitting from the POYC Scheme service through the 129 participating community pharmacies.
