Accréditation Sans Frontières — 2022
Portfolio completion year. Fitness, Telemedicine, and Home Care standards published. ISO 9001 Ready module launched.
“Completing the seven-standard portfolio this year was a milestone, but the conversation that will matter more in hindsight started quietly: our first exploratory discussions with the Public Health Institute of Georgia about what a genuine national partnership could look like. A standard written in Paris means little until it has been tested against the regulations, language, and realities of a specific health system. That work cannot be rushed, and in 2022 we began it properly rather than announcing it prematurely.”
— Prof. Giorgi Pkhakadze, MD, MPH, PhD · Founder and President
