With this quality system, the Electro-medical area of Eiffage Energía is reaching an optimisation of processes, ensuring the control of health risks and minimising the appearance of potential damages that jeopardize the safety of patients, users or society, thus contributing to a rigorous method of control of the service provided in the electro-medical area.
José Manuel Martínez, Eiffage Energía’s CEO, pointed out that “it is important that a company that provides and develops health services adapted to the demands of users be an example of quality management excellence in its own organisation”.
