The EMR has seen rapid growth in the healthcare sector. These emerging markets serve both their own patient populations and international patients who visit the region specifically for medical tourism.
New clinics have opened to meet these rising demands. Nearly every healthcare specialty has seen increased patient volumes in recent years, especially cosmetic clinics. To keep patients safe and to hold clinics accountable, many governments throughout the EMR have pushed for higher standards of care.
Since 2005, QUAD A has helped healthcare facilities across the EMR meet the rising demands for safety and accountability. Our accreditation programs serve a wide range of healthcare specialties, designed to improve their quality of care.
QUAD A has a long history of providing industry-leading accreditation programs worldwide, including more than two decades operating in the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
QUAD A’s commitment to helping healthcare facilities based in the EMR to improve their quality of care and commit to patients first, always has had many important milestones:
