Under the investment of Kuramo Capital Management, majority shareholder, and a Congolese management team, PHC is transforming into a beacon of social and economic progress.
Since the advent of this new era, PHC has radically revised the working conditions of its employees, demonstrating an unreserved commitment to their professional and personal development. By increasing salaries by 12% and improving benefits, such as transportation allowances and quality medical care, PHC recognizes the invaluable value of its workers and their contribution to the company's success.
But this revolution goes far beyond increasing and improving social benefits. As soon as the new leadership took over, with Mrs. Monique Gieskes at its head as Managing Director, PHC took over the management of its hospitals and improved diagnostic equipment, patient wards and the supply of medicines in order to guarantee its employees quality health care when they get sick. Additionally, the company has extended this care to community members and their families who now benefit from medical services at PHC Health Hospitals at minimal cost, recognizing their importance as critical stakeholders in its vision to create shared prosperity.
The commitment to employee well-being has been very well received by employees, leading to an increase in their productivity and enabling the company to achieve spectacular performance. Building on this success, PHC increased its workforce from 7 to 500 employees, all of whom benefit from direct contracts with the company. Beyond its own employees, PHC's operations have also generated employment opportunities for workers of its contractors, such as carriers who provide services to the company.

From now on, any employee can aspire to progress in their career within PHC, provided they have the required qualifications. The creation of PHC Academy illustrates the company's commitment to the professional development of its employees, offering diploma and non-degree training as well as capacity building workshops enabling them to aspire to higher positions. In addition, each year, PHC identifies among its employees those who have obtained the best performances and celebrates them in Kinshasa during a gala evening called PHC Awards Night, thus promoting a culture of meritocracy and promotion based on performance and quality. work.
To ensure worker safety, PHC has provided all its employees on plantations and in factories with personal protective equipment that meets national and global occupational safety standards. This initiative aims to reduce workplace accidents and promote a safe and productive environment for all.
When it comes to diversity and inclusion, PHC has made significant progress by tripling the number of women employed; in fact, PHC's female staff increased from 4,5% in 2021 to 14,1% in 2024, demonstrating PHC's commitment to equal opportunities and gender balance within the company .

On this International Workers’ Day, PHC aims to be an inspiring example of positive workplace transformation. By combining economic growth and social progress, the company demonstrates that commercial success can and must be synonymous with respect for workers' rights and contribution to the well-being of the community.
The story of PHC, under the investment of Kuramo Capital Management since November 2020 and Congolese leadership, is one of remarkable transformation, where economic success is closely linked to worker well-being and commitment. towards communities.
This International Labor Day is an opportunity for PHC to celebrate the remarkable achievements of the company and to reinforce its commitment to building a future where the worker is truly at the heart of economic and social development in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
