The General Authority for Healthcare Accreditation and Regulation (GAHAR) and Temos International are strengthening their ongoing collaboration to advance healthcare quality, accreditation, and medical tourism in Egypt. Building on their cooperation over the past several years, the two organizations reaffirmed their shared commitment through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed by Dr. Ahmed Taha, Chairman of GAHAR, and Dr. Claudia Mika, CEO of Temos International, on the sidelines of the 42nd International Conference for Quality in Healthcare (ISQUA) in Dublin, Ireland.

The partnership provides a framework for continued exchange of international expertise and best practices through training, workshops, capacity building, and scientific events. It also aims to support Egyptian healthcare facilities in strengthening their readiness to care for international patients, with a focus on quality, patient safety, patient experience, and continuity of care.

GAHAR-accredited healthcare facilities interested in pursuing Temos accreditation for medical tourism may benefit from a complementary assessment approach that builds on national accreditation requirements while addressing the specific needs of international patients. This ongoing cooperation offers healthcare providers opportunities to further develop their services and strengthen their position in the global healthcare market.

Dr. Claudia Mika welcomed the continued collaboration and acknowledged GAHAR’s progress in developing Egypt’s healthcare accreditation system. By bringing together national accreditation requirements and Temos International’s expertise in medical tourism and international patient care, both organizations aim to support the continued development of healthcare quality and medical tourism in Egypt.
