Aspetar, the orthopaedic and sports medicine hospital, has been awarded the Patient Safety Friendly Hospital (PSFH) Level 3 accreditation. The accreditation is administered by the World Health Organisation Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (WHO/EMRO) in partnership with Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health (MoPH).
After a rigorous process of self-assessment, external assessment and implementation that has been underway for the last 18 months, Aspetar now joins five other hospitals that have achieved this accreditation in Qatar. The Patient Safety Friendly Hospital Initiative (PSFHI) report says, “There is a strong commitment to patient safety by the hospital’s leadership with a dedicated and motivated quality and patient safety team.”
This accreditation cements the hospital’s standing as an elite health provider locally, regionally and internationally, particularly in the field of sports medicine. It also brings Aspetar a step closer towards its vision of being a ‘global leader in sports medicine and exercise science by 2020.’
