Central Board for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions (CBAHI)

Temos International is honored to feature the Central Board for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions (CBAHI), an important partner in advancing healthcare quality, patient safety, and excellence in medical tourism in Saudi Arabia.

CBAHI is the official agency authorized to grant accreditation certificates to governmental and private healthcare facilities operating in Saudi Arabia. Emerging from the Saudi Health Council as a nonprofit organization, CBAHI establishes healthcare quality and patient safety standards against which healthcare facilities are evaluated for compliance. Its accreditation framework supports healthcare facilities in maintaining consistent standards and promoting continuous improvement in healthcare services.

On 7 May 2026, Temos International and CBAHI officially launched the Joint Medical Tourism Accreditation Program at International Medical Center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The launch marked an important step toward strengthening healthcare quality, patient safety, and excellence in medical tourism across the Kingdom. It brought together leading healthcare representatives, including Dr. Walid Ahmed Fitaihi, Founder and CEO of International Medical Center, Dr. Salem Abdullah Alwahabi, Director General of CBAHI, and Dr. Claudia Mika, CEO of Temos International, alongside international experts and healthcare stakeholders.

As the first healthcare facility in Saudi Arabia to begin the joint accreditation journey, International Medical Center demonstrated its commitment to enhancing international patient services and pursuing excellence in healthcare and medical tourism.

The joint program combines CBAHI’s national expertise in healthcare accreditation and patient safety with Temos International’s international experience in medical tourism accreditation. Through this collaboration, healthcare facilities can pursue high standards of international patient care, governance, and sustainable excellence in medical tourism. Accredited facilities also receive a special “Temos-accredited – Endorsed by CBAHI” certificate.

The partnership supports Saudi Arabia’s ambition to become a leading global destination for medical tourism in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030. By combining national healthcare standards with international medical tourism expertise, CBAHI and Temos International are working together to support a safe, high-quality, and reliable experience for international patients.

We are proud to work with CBAHI as a partner that shares our vision of quality, patient safety, and excellence in international healthcare. We look forward to continuing this important cooperation and contributing to the further development of medical tourism in Saudi Arabia.

Temos International is proud to work with the General Authority for Healthcare Accreditation and Regulation (GAHAR), an important partner in advancing healthcare quality, patient safety, and excellence in medical tourism in Egypt.

GAHAR is a public service authority operating under the direct supervision of the President of the Republic. It is responsible for ensuring the quality of healthcare services, supporting continuous improvement, and regulating the healthcare sector according to established quality standards.

As Egypt’s healthcare accreditation and regulatory authority, GAHAR accredits healthcare facilities according to its standards and monitors their application to support consistent quality and sustainability. Its standards reflect the latest developments in global quality and safety, with patient safety at the core of its goals and objectives.

Temos International and GAHAR have established a joint approach combining Temos International’s international standards and expertise in medical tourism with GAHAR’s national healthcare quality and accreditation framework. Through the Temos GAHAR framework, healthcare facilities can work toward meeting both GAHAR’s national healthcare standards and Temos International’s international standards for medical tourism. GAHAR-accredited organizations benefit from a reduced number of Temos standards and a reduced accreditation fee.

The cooperation also extends to education and professional development. Through educational programs, healthcare professionals can strengthen their knowledge and skills in areas including international patient management, clinical pathways, patient safety, and the quality of medical services for international patients.

The partnership brings together GAHAR’s national expertise in healthcare regulation, accreditation, quality, and patient safety with Temos International’s international experience in healthcare quality and medical tourism.
