Welcome
PGS at FNLGHTC
Your guide to understanding our strategy.
What is the PGS?
The Performance Governance System (PGS) is the framework used by Philippine government hospitals to translate strategy into action. It is built around a Strategy Map — a one-page picture of where we are going and how we plan to get there. The PGS is implemented in four stages: Initiation, Compliance, Proficiency, and Institutionalization.
Where are we now?
FNLGHTC is currently at Stage 2 — Compliance. The key outcome of this stage is showing evidence of strategy execution. This means every employee must understand their role and how their work connects to the strategy. Our next milestone is the Gold Trailblazer Award in 2026.
