Globe Business and iCare, one of the Philippines’ leading health maintenance organizations (HMOs), have agreed to enhance the latter’s operations and its ability to deliver quality healthcare to all Filipinos.
The collaboration comes as medical inflation continues to outpace general inflation, pressuring healthcare providers and patients alike to improve quality while keeping costs sustainable.
Globe Business said it is providing essential digital solutions, including the trusted digital productivity suite Microsoft 365, to help iCare scale its HMO operations and workforce nationwide.
The technology is crucial for enhancing collaboration, enabling iCare’s teams to respond faster and serving patients more efficiently.
The platform facilitates real-time collaboration, secure data management, and internal communications, ensuring alignment across multiple locations in delivering cost-effective and patient-centered service.
KD Dizon, vice president and head of Globe Business, described the partnership as a strategic move driving digital transformation.
“Globe Business is the strategic partner driving digital transformation, enabling companies like iCare to make their operations both intelligent and responsive,” Dizon said.
“By integrating these tools, we ensure our partners can confidently lead with their mission to provide affordable, accessible healthcare. Technology must be the ultimate bridge to better care, never a barrier,” said Dizon.
Geronimo Francisco, president and chief executive of iCare HMO, cited how the partnership aligns with the company’s mission.
“At iCare, we believe that innovation is only meaningful when it elevates the way we care,” Francisco said.
“Our partnership with Globe Business empowers us to reimagine healthcare where technology brings us closer to our members, not further apart. By combining innovation with compassion and care, we aim to make every interaction a reflection of our promise to enable Filipinos to have better health,” he said.
The partnership demonstrates how digital innovation can create a meaningful impact on industries essential to people’s everyday lives.
Globe Business said it continues its commitment to helping leading companies and enterprises transform by combining connectivity, cloud, and collaboration tools across key sectors, including healthcare, financial services and education to unlock better ways of working and serving.
