The Society for International Healthcare Accreditation
International Healthcare Accreditation (IHA) is more important than ever before.
As "Global Healthcare" takes off, the need for robust means of ensuring that standards in hospitals and other healthcare facilities are what they should be is ever-increasing.
It is not just a matter for professionals, but also for the lay public.
Why ? Well.........
- If you are a member of the public, then one day you may be a patient.
- If you do become a patient, you may then become a "medical tourist"
- If you are a medical tourist, you may be entirely dependent on a reputable independent organisation making sure that the hospital you are receiving treatment in is safe !
SOFIHA is a response to these issues and concerns.
SOFIHA is delighted to welcome hospitals, other healthcare providers, medical insurance providers and people interested in International Healthcare Accreditation to these pages.
Please browse through the SOFIHA web site and find out more about the Society for International Healthcare Accreditation, what it does and what it plans to do, and much much more about the wide range of issues which impinge upon accreditation and patient safety in healthcare.
SOFIHA has a "Patients' Page", for members of the public. Please consider starting there if you are a lay person.
Best wishes from SOFIHA
