Hospital accreditation is widely adopted across the world to evaluate and enhance the
quality of healthcare and patient safety. In Hong Kong, many hospitals are accredited by
the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) International and the Joint
Commission International (JCI) standards, and some of them are also planning to adopt
the new China’s International Hospital Accreditation (CIHA) Standards which are the first
internationally recognised hospital accreditation standards of the country.

Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong (Gleneagles), part of IHH Healthcare which is one of
the world’s largest healthcare networks, has been accredited by the ACHS International
since 2019 and will be one of the first private hospitals in the city to participate in the
CIHA scheme. In this session, Gleneagles will compare and contrast its experience in
the two international accreditation schemes and share some of its current learnings
through its sister hospital in Shanghai where more and more hospitals are striving to
obtain international accreditations in the recent decade.
