“"The true dimension of a hospital lies in its capacity to improve processes and, with them, the lives of patients and their families. That is the healthcare we believe in. Healthcare that is measured, of course, by indicators. But that is also recognized in gestures, in closeness, in listening, and in treatment. Because that humanity is what gives meaning to the value of data."
