Sustaining a healthy workforce is instrumental in the effective and efficient delivery of PSALM’s mandates.

An integral part in sustaining the health of PSALM employees is the provision of vitamin supplements and over-the-counter and first aid medicines. Quality yet low-priced drugs were procured through an agency-to-agency transaction with PITC Pharma, Inc.
