KTQ (Cooperation for Transparency and Quality in Hospitals), a German healthcare accreditation organization, recently accredited four state clinics in Georgia: the Tengiz Tsertsvadze Infectious and AIDS Center, the National Center for Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, the Rukhi Republican Hospital, and the Batumi Republican Hospital.
Mikheil Sarjveladze, Georgian Health Minister, and his deputy Tea Giorgadze, met with KTQ Director Ronald Neubauer, with Teona Gorgadze, KTQ representative in Georgia, to discuss international healthcare standards and acknowledge KTQ’s collaboration with the Georgian health sector.
Minister Sarjveladze pointed out that patient safety and easy accessibility to medical services are top priorities for the government, stating that most state program-related clinics have already been internationally accredited.
The government gave a grace period to certain medical institutions, so they can meet all the necessary emergency service accessibility standards to comply with the listed KTQ requirements.
