This accreditation, granted according to internationally recognized GAHAR standards, comes three years after the hospital first received accreditation. The renewal reflects the hospitals success in sustainably implementing quality and patient safety requirements, maintaining its performance level throughout the accreditation cycle, and continuously developing its services and improving its practices and work systems. Dr. Ahmed Taha emphasized that accreditation renewal represents a significant milestone for any healthcare facility. Achieving accreditation requires considerable effort, while maintaining quality standards for consecutive years is a true test of an institutions ability to sustain, develop, and improve. The Chairman stated, "Obtaining accreditation is an achievement, but maintaining and renewing it is the true proof that quality has become an integral part of the work system, not merely a temporary preparation for an evaluation visit." He pointed out that EGYPTAIR Hospital has undergone successive stages in its quality journey, beginning with obtaining the GAHAR accreditation for the first time three years ago, followed by GAHAR-TEMOS accreditation, and culminating in the renewal of the GAHAR accreditation. This reflects the hospitals management and staffs commitment to the sustainable application of quality standards and patient safety, and to continuously improving the level of services provided. The head of the authority emphasized that quality and governance are two fundamental pillars for building trust and enhancing the competitiveness of healthcare institutions. He noted that EGYPTAIR Hospitals experience demonstrates the importance of transforming quality principles from accreditation requirements into a sustainable institutional system based on adherence to internationally recognized standards, performance measurement, and continuous improvement. He added that investing in quality directly impacts patient safety, service efficiency, and performance sustainability. It also represents a key element in enhancing Egypts competitiveness in the field of health tourism. The ability of any healthcare system to attract international patients begins with the presence of reliable healthcare facilities that operate according to recognized quality standards and provide safe, high-quality care and an experience that meets patient expectations. Dr. Ahmed Taha explained that the true value of accreditation lies not merely in obtaining a certificate, but in the tangible improvements in work systems and healthcare services resulting from the application of standards. It also lies in the facilitys ability to measure its performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and address them, which is reflected in patient safety, quality of care, and overall patient experience within the facility. He added that the General Authority for Accreditation and Healthcare Regulation (GAHAR) aims, through its accreditation system, to establish a national culture of quality that goes beyond simply passing assessments to include sustained performance and continuous improvement. This ensures that patient safety and the quality of their experience remain top priorities for healthcare facilities. Dr. Ahmed Taha congratulated the leadership and staff of EGYPTAIR Hospital on the renewal of its accreditation, emphasizing that sustaining quality is a shared institutional responsibility that requires the integrated efforts of all teams and specialties, and continued adherence to standards at all levels of operation. For his part, Dr. Ayman Salah, Chairman of the Board of Directors of EGYPTAIR Medical Services Company, expressed his gratitude to the team from the General Authority for Accreditation and Healthcare Regulation for their continuous support and cooperation with the hospital, from the initial qualification and accreditation phase to the post-accreditation period. He emphasized that this collaboration was a crucial factor in enabling the hospital to maintain its commitment to quality standards and continuously improve its performance. The Chairman concluded by affirming that accreditation renewal is not the end of the quality journey, but rather the beginning of a new responsibility to preserve and build upon these achievements, and to pursue ongoing development and improvement, ensuring that the application of GAHAR standards remains an integral part of the facilitys daily operations. The Health Accreditation and Oversight Authority awards EGYPTAIR Hospital a renewed accreditation certificate, emphasizing that quality sustainability is the true test of a healthcare facility's success.
