The National Indicator of the Internationally Accredited Hospitals

In this context, Abeer Adel , Director of Regulation and Licensing Department, pointed out that this national indicator helps improve the quality of the services provided for patients.

“That could be done through the provision of important health standard for the directors and clinical doctors so that they can take their decisions. Also, this matter contributes to improving the accountability and regulation before the legal, professional authorities and the society in general, in addition to regulating the health facilities’ manners to safeguard patients’ interests,” said Abdul Ghani.

In light of the increasing community awareness to choose the treatment in trusted and accredited health institutions, patients are considered the first to benefit from the international accreditation.

On the other hand, the private healthcare facilities have managed to boost the international confidence in terms of their performance efficiency, reducing the side effects and complications, exposure to infection, medical malpractice and cutting expenditures.

Further to that, the implementation of quality systems, performance improvement and adherence to global standards helped in raising the rank of healthcare facilities. This also helps create competition among those facilities to deliver the best services.

From every 10,000 in-patient treated cases .In this context, the medical committees of the healthcare facilities and the Higher Committee for Medical Liability are responsible for proving the medical malpractice.
