With the soaring cost of health care in the US and extended

help ease the burden. The approach we provide includes more than
just cost saving solutions. We make sure our competitive prices
do not compromise quality, value or customer care. The
hospitals, clinics and staff we partner with have been
extensively researched by SurgicalEscape. ALL hospitals and
clinics have received JCI Accreditation, the US arm to ensure
quality and safety of hospitals and clinics. Services are
comparable to US standards.
The What and Why of JCI
“When you walk into a hospital or clinic in the US, chances are
good it’s “accredited,” meaning that it’s in compliance with
standards and “good practices” set by an independent
accreditation agency. In the US, by far the largest and most
respected accreditation agency is JCAHO, the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. The Commission casts
a wide net of approval for hospitals, clinics, home health care,
ambulatory services, and a host of other healthcare facilities
and services throughout the US.
Responding to Global demand for accreditation standards, JCAHO
launched its international affiliate accreditation agency in
1999, the Joint Commission International. In order to be
accredited, an international healthcare provider must meet the
same set of rigorous standards set forth in the US by JCAHO.
This is great news for the medical traveler, who can walk with
greater confidence into a JCI accredited site, knowing that
standards are high and that staff, procedures, instrumentation,
and administrative infrastructure are monitored regularly.”
(Patients Beyond Borders 2007)
JCI Accredited hospitals and clinics must have the same or
exceed standards compared to the US in clinical outcomes,
infection rates, mortality rates and cleanliness.
