Accreditation and Safety: Ensuring International Standards
The primary concern for medical tourists is the Quality of Care. To mitigate risk, the industry relies on international accreditation bodies:
Joint Commission International (JCI): The gold standard for global healthcare. Hospitals with JCI accreditation have met rigorous US-equivalent standards for patient safety and infection control.
ISQua (International Society for Quality in Health Care): An umbrella organization that validates regional accreditation bodies.
Clinical Credentials: Many lead surgeons in these hubs are "Western-trained," meaning they completed their residencies or fellowships in the US, UK, or Germany, providing a familiar standard of care.
