Provisional Accreditation

In reference to Law no. 2 for the year 2018 for issuance of the Universal Health Insurance in Egypt, GAHAR should set quality standards for health services and apply them to medical care facilities, and accomplish the accreditation and registration of medical facilities and medical professionals, thus ensuring compliance with quality standards.

GAHAR developed its Provisional accreditation with inputs from multidisciplinary health care professionals, subject matter experts, Ministry of Health & Population representatives, international organizations, and private sector healthcare providers.

The registration requirements development process is based on scientific literature and expert consensus. The process was reviewed both internally and externally before final approval by GAHAR’s board.

Registration requirements are divided into four parts:

• Basic Requirements

• National Safety Requirements (NSR)

• Essential Quality Requirements (EQRs)

• Operating Manual

GAHAR also developed the National Safety Requirements (NSRs) that are based on enhancing the individual’s safety in healthcare facilities.
