The multi award winning Lanka Hospitals has become Sri Lanka's first health care provider to achieve international medical tourism certification from the US-based Medical Travel Quality Alliance (MTQUA).
Another prestigious addition to its host of international and local quality awards, MTQUA reinforces the service excellence and utmost patient care endorsed to Lanka Hospitals by the Joint Commission International Association (JCIA) of USA.
Lanka Hospitals has undergone an evaluation for several monthsthat included in-depth interviews and a formal review of its operations, processes and procedures against international standards of quality in 10 non-clinical areas that directly influence a medical traveler's wellbeing and outcomes. Hospitals, clinics and agencies in more than 20 countries are certified by MTQUA. Fortis Hospital India, Gleneagles Hospital Singapore and Bumrungrad Hospital Thailand are some of the best known international hospitals to have achieved the MTQUA certification.
“We have been most impressed with Lanka Hospitals' medical and support teams during the certification process,” said Julie Munro, president of MTQUA, in awarding medical tourism certification for the hospital.
