PHILOSOPHY In 2013, under the current management of the hospital, RSCM went through a full re-branding which fully embraces environmentalism. Not only did the graphic design aspect of the establishment was improved, the concept of the whole hospital has been re-defined and the building has also been renovated. Witnessing the decline of environmental concern in the country, RSCM has taken a bold approach in being the first hospital in Indonesia that wholeheartedly adopts the concept of environmentalism. Our current mission is to educate society on how important it is to live sustainably and we hope to deliver this through our design. Today, the overall look and feel of the branding is presented minimalistically to ensure that the general public fully comprehends our message. This book serves as a reference manual for expatriates who look after the RSCM brand in Indonesia, thus the book is delivered in English. It has three main purposes:

To reaffirm core RSCM values. To reveal the new and improved personality, look and feel of RSCM. To provide communication guidelines for all products and services in all media.
