What does it mean to patients?
In the past it has been difficult to give absolute guidance on what constitutes a “good” medical clinic since private medical care is a highly personalized interaction between the patient and medical team and varies in degrees of complexity. Instead of having a simple estimate of clinics’ quality by your past experience, recommendations from a friend or family member, or reading online reviews only, our GCR Accreditation Experts do a rigorous check of accredited clinics in all areas that make up their GCR Assessment, so that this quality standard is the correct representation of the clinic. It’s the added and fact-based assurance that you need to make sure about when you’re making the right decision in your choice of clinic you want to be treated at.
