Adopting an internationally recognised Effective Governance Management System (EGMS) demonstrates MoHAP’s commitment to raising the bar in how their organisation is governed as well as enhance their organisational performance. On behalf of BSI, I would like to congratulate the entire MoHAP team on this fantastic achievement."
