In a groundbreaking historic achievement, EYECARE Hospital in the Maldives has become the first healthcare institution in the country to receive dual ISO certification of ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018. The globally recognized hallmark of excellence in Quality Management (9001:2015) and Occupational Health and Safety Management (45001:2018) was awarded to EYCARE by world leading Swiss certification body SGS which is accredited by UKAS (United Kingdom). This accomplishment underscores EYECARE’s unwavering commitment to providing top-tier patient care while prioritizing the health and safety of both patients and its staff.
EYECARE's attainment of ISO 9001:2015 certification signifies its implementation of a comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS). This system is designed to ensure the consistent delivery of high-quality healthcare services to its patients. The certification process involves a meticulous evaluation of the hospital's processes, documentation and continuous improvement strategies.
ISO 9001:2015 certification is not easily earned and requires an organization to demonstrate excellence in areas such as patient care, services, planning, leadership, staff training, risk management and customer satisfaction. By achieving this certification, EYECARE has positioned itself as the benchmark of quality for eye health in the Maldives.
On the day Maldives passed the landmark bill of occupational health and safety, EYCARE successfully achieved its second certification - ISO 45001:2018 which is the implementation of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System marking the dawn of a new era for healthcare in the Maldives. This certification reflects the hospital's commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for both patients and staff aligning with global best practices.
To achieve ISO 45001:2018 certification, EYECARE underwent a rigorous evaluation of its safety protocols, risk management practices, and occupational health measures. This certification not only highlights the hospital's dedication to ensuring the well-being of its workforce but also emphasizes its role as a responsible healthcare.
The dual ISO certification awarded to EYECARE brings a multitude of benefits to both patients and staff. Patients can have confidence in the hospital's commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare services within a safe and secure environment. Simultaneously, the hospital's staff benefits from a workplace culture that prioritizes their well-being and safety, fostering a positive environment for professional growth and development.
EYECARE's achievement of dual ISO certifications is a significant milestone for the healthcare industry in the Maldives. With this coveted recognition, EYECARE has truly solidified its position as a leader in eye health in the Maldives.
