10th Anniversary Message - A Decade of Doing Stash
At Stash, we do things that matter. We are on this mission to improve healthcare systems in the Philippines. We are working on long-term solutions that impact 118 Million of us Filipinos. We are searching for individuals who love their country and want to contribute to society.
Our founder was just fed up with how our healthcare systems are being done. We started out from seeing how inefficient the healthcare system is in the Philippines. Healthcare systems are very disconnected and fragmented across the whole industry. Most medical doctors still rely on paper-pen patient record system where patient data is poorly managed and kept. On the other hand, there are patients needing specific care that are left to find doctors through word of mouth method, which in most cases are not that effective at all. Worst, they are not able to find one that is available and nearby. Some institutions employ some form of information system and more often than not incomplete, and again, disconnected.
Further in our study, one reason keeps showing up - inefficiency. Inefficiency breeds other problems such as fraud and abuse. Inefficiency also hinders development . If this is not addressed, you’ll find that most organizations do only firefighting.
The challenge is enormous and ambitious but we firmly believe that, if there’s an area where innovation should happen, it’s in healthcare. Stash is up for that challenge. We are passionately crazy enough to tackle the complexities of healthcare. We are more than convinced that more than just the monetary gains our services can generate; we would be able to make other people’s quality of life better. For us, it’s the most important thing. It’s not just data, it’s about the precious lives of people to get care. It’s about people. It’s about life. That’s what Stash is for.
At Stash, we believe culture is a living operating system, not just a list of words. Our values guide our decisions, behaviors, and standards of excellence — especially when things get hard.
