Accreditation and certification

InterMed Global agrees that hospitals and other healthcare institutions must be held to high standards by a method of accreditation. Whether this accreditation is through a country's own regulatory system or through internationally accepted accreditation authorities such as JCI and others, it provides a minimum baseline level of quality and safety assurance for patients traveling across borders.

Medical travel companies, medical travel agents and facilitators must require the same high standards for themselves and for the hospitals and clinics with whom they partner.

Accreditation is voluntary. While desirable, it does not guarantee compliance with the stated quality and safety standards. Compliance is dependent on the principles and practices of the institution itself including participation in international bodies such as International Medical Travel Association.

Accreditation is an expensive commitment for any institution. In preparation for accreditation, or to benchmark your hospital against accepted standards, InterMed Global specialists with JCI experience will review your facility and provide an evaluation and detailed report for your action.
