Accreditation plays a vital role in helping healthcare organizations improve the safety, quality, and effectiveness of the care they provide. It supports the development of consistent, patient-centered systems that enhance outcomes, reduce risk, and build public trust.
Accreditation is a form of formal public recognition granted by an independent accrediting body, confirming that a healthcare organization has met or exceeded established standards. This achievement is validated through a rigorous external survey, conducted by trained professionals who objectively assess the organization’s performance across a range of clinical, operational, and administrative domains.

Accreditation also fosters a culture of excellence, encouraging teamwork, leadership engagement, and ongoing learning. It is not a one-time milestone, but a dynamic process that supports long-term transformation in healthcare delivery.
