Danley Philip
The Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre has welcomed Danley Philip as its new Director of Administration, effective July 1st. His appointment comes at a pivotal time for the institution, which is experiencing significant growth and innovation in its healthcare services.
Philip brings a wealth of experience as an accomplished financial management professional and healthcare administration specialist. He holds a Master’s degree in Accounting and Finance Management, as well as a Professional Certificate in Hospital Management from Johns Hopkins University, and is certified as a board director.
In his previous role as a business consultant, Philip applied his extensive knowledge in financial management to help organizations navigate complex operational and strategic challenges.
He previously served as the Accounting Manager at AUA, where he demonstrated strong financial leadership and forged lasting professional relationships within various government ministries and departments.
Philip’s professional philosophy emphasizes that “the purpose of serving others should come from care, not necessity or profit.”
He believes that effective leadership in healthcare requires a genuine concern for stakeholders, asserting, “patients want to know that the healthcare provider cares.”
His leadership approach is expected to positively influence the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre’s commitment to patient-centered care.
His core competencies include Financial Management & Analysis, Healthcare Administration, Board Governance & Strategic Oversight, Business Consulting & Organizational Development, Risk Assessment & Compliance, and Team Leadership & Professional Development.
Wishing Mr. Philip every success. Strong leadership at SLBMC is long overdue.
It’s not the strong leadership that counts under Gassy watch, it’s what Gassy says goes.
With his finance and hospital management background, he seems like a solid choice. Now we’ll see if he delivers.
He is only there as a puppet to do what Gassy said, and be paid a large salary. .
Phillip good luck in your position. Hopefully we can see some improvements in the services offered
This is how it’s done if we are to move Antigua in the right direction Placing highly qualified people with relevant experience in the position for which they’ve been hired is a must. Mr. Philip is highly qualified and experienced and I look forward to positive changes in the health care professionals’ attitudes fostering a caring patient centered hospital.
We’ve seen big appointments before with little to show. I’m rooting for Mr. Philip, but the real test will be results, not résumés.
