In a milestone event for the healthcare industry, BITS Biomedical Inc. proudly made its first appearance as a booth exhibitor at the prestigious Metro Pacific Health Annual Summit 2025 on August 25, 2025. This annual gathering brought together an inspiring mix of leaders and practitioners from various departments, including Medical, Supply Chain, Pharmacy, Biomedical, and Laboratory teams from across the Metro Pacific Health network.

The summit was not just a conference; it served as a dynamic platform where innovative ideas were exchanged, real-world success stories were shared, and meaningful collaborations were forged. With a central focus on empowering healthcare professionals to rethink, innovate, and create solutions that will define the future of healthcare, the event highlighted the growing role of technology and partnerships in achieving better patient outcomes.

Aside from being a booth exhibitor, Mr. Arnold O. de Torres, the Founder and CEO of BITS Biomedical Inc., was also one of the esteemed guest speakers. He delivered a highly insightful talk to the Biomedical Engineering teams titled:

“Medical and Biomedical Equipment Calibration: Importance of Developing and Complying with International Standards.”

In his session, Mr. de Torres emphasized the critical role of regular calibration of medical equipment, not just as a technical requirement but critical for safety and regulatory compliance. He strongly advocated for the selection of ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration service providers, emphasizing how international standards are foundational to ensuring accuracy, reliability, and patient safety. His message resonated deeply with biomedical professionals, especially at a time when the Philippine biomedical sector is rapidly evolving.

The biomedical industry in the Philippines is currently undergoing significant development, driven by a blend of government initiatives, rising healthcare demands, a growing talent pool, and a focus on local innovation. While the country still relies on imported high-value medical devices, there’s a strong effort to develop local products, particularly in diagnostics, medical consumables, and healthcare technologies. In this context, the localization and adoption of international standards like ISO/IEC 17025 becomes a key strategy to foster quality, credibility, and global competitiveness.

BITS Biomedical Inc., known for its expertise in calibration, repair, preventive maintenance, and the sales and rental of medical equipment, demonstrated at the summit its unwavering commitment to supporting healthcare institutions with reliable and compliant solutions. Their presence and leadership underscored the importance of collaboration between technology providers and healthcare systems in building a safer, more efficient, and patient-focused future.

Through active participation in the summit—both at the booth and on the stage—BITS Biomedical not only expanded its network but also contributed to elevating the discourse around biomedical standards and healthcare technology in the Philippines.
