FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jordan’s Specialty Hospital promises medical tourists a new reason to trust its quality with MTQUA international medical tourism certification.
Specialty Hospital, Amman, shows commitment to excellence in health care in becoming the country’s first internationally certified hospital for medical travelers through Medical Travel Quality Alliance.
November 21, 2016 – Amman and Scottsdale, Ariz. – One more reason medical tourists can trust Specialty Hospital, Amman to deliver quality of care is it has become Jordan’s first health care provider to achieve international medical tourism accreditation from the US-based Medical Travel Quality Alliance MTQUA.
“Acquiring MTQUA certification is another distinction on our quality journey and increases a patient’s trust and loyalty and at the same time it improves patient satisfaction. And because this certificate looks at the critical areas that a medical tourists need, when we achieve this award it will ensure that our services will meet and exceed our medical tourists’ expectations,” said Dr. Fawzi Al-Hammouri, the hospital’s CEO & General Manager.
Hospitals, clinics and agencies in more than 20 countries are certified by MTQUA.
The MTQUA evaluation team reviewed how the hospital manages a medical tourist through the inquiry process, intake and treatment, and care management after discharge. It reported on the hospital’s website and internet marketing, communications procedures, privacy and security measures, multicultural sensitivity, International Patient Services department, care support services and certain operations and business procedures that influence the quality of treatment and care a medical tourist receives.
“Medical tourists are not ordinary patients, and they are not typical tourists,” added Ms. Munro. “When they are in a strange land, away from family and community, they need to know they will get an international standard of care at the destination.”
