Global Healthcare Accreditation
Global Healthcare Accreditation is a premier healthcare quality and business solution for the global medical travel and medical tourism industries. The GHA program evaluates compliance towards competencies that ensure a healthcare organization is not only monitoring its overall performance in the services provided to medical travel, medical tourism or international patients but that the entire medical travel cycle is streamlined to ensure an overall positive experience for consumers. GHA provides healthcare organizations a unique opportunity to not only acquire skills & competence but choose from a portfolio of business solutions for any stage of development or objective. Achieving Global Healthcare Accreditation is not only an accomplishment in operational excellence but a clear indicator an organization is also prioritizing their business strategy.
