ASF Health Standards, version 9.0

One standard for every health facility · 22 standards · 433 criteria

Version 9.0 · Base standard: 1 · Optional modules: 2 to 22. Each standard is one page. Its sub-standards are the numbered criteria on that page, with the classification and verification questions for each.

A facility is accredited for the base standards. It declares any optional module that covers a service it provides, and that module’s criteria then apply in addition.
