“Who We Serve” 

🇬🇭 What is “Ghana Accreditation” in Healthcare & Laboratory Services?

“Ghana Accreditation” refers to the structured process of meeting quality, safety, and compliance standards set by national regulatory bodies and international certification agencies.

Unlike a single authority named “Ghana Accreditation,” this term collectively includes:

• Ministry of Health (MoH) – Policy & compliance oversight

• HEFRA (Health Facilities Regulatory Agency) – Registration & licensing of hospitals, labs, clinics

• GSA (Ghana Standards Authority) – Technical standards & ISO compliance

• FDA Ghana – Regulation of drugs, clinical research, and medical devices

• AHPC (Allied Health Professions Council) – Accreditation of diagnostic & imaging services

• International Quality Standards (ISO 15189, ISO 9001, JCI, CAP, NABL, COHSASA, EQAS)

Why Accreditation Matters in Ghana’s Healthcare Landscape:

With rapid urbanization, foreign investment, and growing medical tourism, Ghanaian healthcare providers must now raise their quality standards to meet both local and global expectations.

Accreditation helps to:
Build patient trust & confidence
Align with WHO, CDC, USAID & donor-funded project requirements
Qualify for insurance partnerships & public-private collaborations
Improve infection control, infrastructure, and documentation
Attract global partnerships & boost medical tourism revenue
