The Hospital Particular do Algarve - Gambelas (HPA Gambelas), in Faro, has just been awarded the Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation for the third consecutive time. JCI is one of the most prestigious global certification bodies in both clinical and non-clinical areas. This reaccreditation confirms the hospital's ongoing commitment to providing healthcare of the highest standard, guided by the most stringent international safety and quality benchmarks.
The JCI accreditation process is highly rigorous and requires the evaluation of over 1,300 performance measures across a range of areas, including infection control, medical and surgical care, patient services, organisational management, and patient safety. The hospital is particularly recognised for the constant implementation and review of processes to ensure continuous improvement in the services it provides.
This reaccreditation further strengthens the position of the Hospital Particular do Algarve - Gambelas as the safest and highest-quality healthcare institution in the region, offering patients a modern facility, diverse services, and a team of highly qualified professionals committed to excellence in care.
The JCI reaccreditation marks a significant milestone in the hospital's expansion process, which has recently broadened its range of services, always maintaining a focus on patient safety and well-being. This distinction confirms that, in addition to providing specialised and differentiated medical care, the hospital adheres to the best management models, with organisational and leadership practices centred primarily on patient safety.
This international recognition not only consolidates HPA Gambelas position at the forefront of private healthcare in Portugal, but also highlights its strategic importance in the Algarve region.
