How it Works
MyCareMobile App
The company’s MyCareMobile app lets people have virtual doctor visits and other services done remotely. This is on top of the fact that test results are always available and an emergency response team is always ready to help.
Clinical Quality
Africa Health Holdings (AHH) is very happy with how well all of their healthcare brands in Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria treat patients. They only hire the most qualified experts in each field because they care about their patients as whole people.
When you need medical help, you can be sure that the staff at any AHH facility is well-trained and kind.
They make sure that every therapy meets the standards set by each country by doing required clinical audits and going over patient case records
Patients can be sure that their privacy will be protected because their medical records are encrypted and can only be accessed by authorized medical staff. This means that they will get the best care possible using the most advanced diagnostic and treatment technology.
Quality Control
They’ve set up a separate department called Quality & Compliance whose only job is to make sure you get the timely care, right for you, and designed to make you happy. This is because they want to improve the quality of their services.
This division coordinates audits, reviews of partner facilities, technical training for employees, compliance with regulations, and other quality improvement efforts to make sure patients are happy.
Standard operating procedures (SOPs) and strategic partnerships with quality control groups like SafeCare show how committed they are to giving great service.
It’s also important to hear what their patients have to say, so they’ve set up many ways for them to do so. Patients’ ideas are taken into account and put into action as much as possible.
Safe care Partnership
Achieving healthcare quality on par with that seen in other developed countries has always been a priority at AHH. This is why they engaged in an agreement with SafeCare, a division of the PharmAccess Group, to improve the quality of care provided at their hospitals and clinics throughout the African continent.
Accredited by the International Society for Quality in Health Care External Evaluation Association, SafeCare was developed through a partnership between ISQua and Joint Commission International to assess the standard of care delivered and to offer a systematic, incentivizing, and technologically supported route to long-term enhancement.
Through this collaboration, they have entrusted SafeCare with the responsibility of evaluating their healthcare delivery practices and establishing industry standards. Their facilities have achieved SafeCare Certification at Levels 2-4, and are committed to obtaining Level 5 for all of their facilities shortly.
