International Accreditation of Healthcare Facilities
The first healthcare-facility accreditations Georgia ever recorded. A ministerial decree. A national patient-council system. What ASF offers internationally today was first built here, in real clinics, with real patients, under real conditions.
ASF in Georgia
Where the model was built, tested and proven.
PHIG, ASF and David Tvildiani Medical University launched the first national effort to unite academia, professional organisations and a global accreditation body around establishing healthcare accreditation in Georgia. More than 50 facilities voluntarily entered the pilot programme.
ASF accredited the first four healthcare facilities Georgia had ever recorded — the country’s first internationally recognised hospital accreditations. The patient council system was piloted simultaneously: real councils, real patients, ASF facilitating.
A ministerial decree (No. 4/n, 26 January 2023) introduced a requirement for independent international accreditation of all Georgian hospitals. From 1 January 2025, accreditation is a condition of participating as a provider in the Universal Health Care state programme. The Accreditation Georgia Initiative was a direct precursor.
PHIG formalised a partnership with a leading international accreditation body. Nine Georgian hospitals achieved international accreditation. PHIG is the official in-country representative for that accreditation body in Georgia. The patient council system expanded and is documented publicly at pacienti.ge.
The ASF standard expanded beyond hospitals to ambulatory clinics, invasive procedures, and fitness facilities, bringing quality verification to facilities below the hospital threshold.
Georgia is also where the ASF patient council system was built and proven. Functioning councils of real patients and hospital representatives, facilitated by ASF as a strictly neutral intermediary — receiving complaints and praise alike, mediating between patient and hospital, answering every submission in writing.
Council meetings, agendas, initiatives and outcomes are published openly. Nothing is taken on faith. This is the model now offered internationally — refined by real cases in real clinics, not blueprinted from a textbook.
What the Georgia programme delivers
Georgia-specific resources
pacienti.ge — Patient councils
certificate.ge — Certification platform
publichealth.ge — PHIG national partner
accreditation.ge — Georgian market
Most accreditation bodies were built in high-income countries and then adapted downward for export. ASF was built in a country in transition — where data systems are incomplete, quality infrastructure is nascent, and resources are real-world constrained. Every standard, every monitoring rhythm, every council mechanism was stress-tested in Georgian clinics before it was offered anywhere else.
That is the Georgia advantage: not a pilot, but a proof.
