How is Philips responding to COVID-19?
​​​​​​​April 14th, 2020
Today, as the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) persists throughout the global community, Philips is steadfast in its commitment to support health systems and healthcare professionals who entrust us to help them care for their patients. 

While people all over the world are being told to work from home, many Philips employees are working tirelessly and fearlessly to continue assembling, testing, distributing, installing and maintaining life-saving medical equipment to those in need. They do this because they know that Philips solutions can help health systems, clinicians and their patients as they navigate this complex and dynamic environment.

Philips continues to maintain its focus on quality and patient safety, while working hard – and differently – together. Priorities are being refocused to meet the needed demand and we are using a planned hiring approach to accelerate these efforts.
