Kardiolita Private Hospital Becomes Compliant With the Code Of Practice for Medical Tourism

Online, August 21, 2014 (Newswire.com) - As medical treatment abroad is becoming more and more popular in many countries, patient concerns are also rising – creating the need for health service providers to search for ways to provide reassurance that the services patients would get will meet or exceed their expectations.

There are several standards, certifications and accreditations that most hospitals and health providers aim to get – such as ISO and JCI. Another great way to provide reassurance for patients about the services they would get at a certain health provider abroad, is to comply with the Code of Practice for Medical Tourism which is being operated by one of the leading resources online for treatment abroad – TreatmentAbroad.com.

According to TreatmentAbroad.com, the key objectives of the code are to: “Encourage the development of best practices amongst medical tourism agencies and healthcare providers abroad, and drive quality in the medical tourism sector.”

To comply, healthcare providers need to complete the application process and provide lots of documentation and information which is then reviewed and approved or declined by external assessors.

Andrius Jonutis, the General Deputy Manager at Kardiolita private hospital in Lithuania, says: “The reason our patients are happy with our services is not only because they are affordable and there are no waiting lines – but also because we work by the highest industry standards and the accreditations that we have, for example - JCI and ISO, are not there just to be proud of them – we do work by those procedures each and every day, in every step.  

Our patients already know what they can expect in terms of quality, when they come to our hospital - and compliance with the Code of Practice for Medical Tourism is a great way to reassure those who are considering hospital Kardiolita as their healthcare provider abroad".
