ACHC International Accredits 1st Home Care Provider in Middle East
CARY, NC (PRWEB) March 20, 2017 -- Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) International is pleased to announce it has accredited We Care Home Health Center, its first home care provider in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
“We are thrilled to have begun accrediting home care providers in Abu Dhabi,” said José Domingos, ACHC’s Chief Executive Officer. “This milestone represents ACHC International’s goal of providing the best possible experience to organizations seeking accreditation and related services in non-US regions. We look forward to expanding our accreditation services throughout the Middle East and beyond.”
In February, ACHC International began conducting surveys in Abu Dhabi in response to the 2016 decision by Health Authority Abu Dhabi (HAAD) to require accreditation for all home care providers. ACHC International created specific home care standards that are relevant, realistic, and aligned with HAAD requirements and industry best practices.

ACHC International has partnered with a local representative, Ashore Consultancy for Health and Safety (ACHS) in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, to provide world-class customer service in order for home care providers to receive the best possible experience.
