"As you know, MSD has an international quality certification, from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) which is ISO 9001:2015, so it is our responsibility to ensure that we live and implement the performance standards we have set for ourselves, based on this certification" said Meena.

Ms. Meena added that, apart from the certification, there are various laws, policies and guidelines that guide the performance of MSD, so the training has also trained the employees to ensure that they carry out their duties, according to the requirements of their workplaces.
