Participation in the scientific and practical conference «Reproductive Health of Uzbekistan»
On September 22-23, 2023, the scientific and practical conference with international participation “Reproductive Health of Uzbekistan” was successfully completed in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. As part of this event, the ACQH Accreditation Center held a ceremonial presentation of the certificate of compliance of the State Institution «Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology» in Tashkent with the ACQH international accreditation standards of the Accreditation Center of Kazakhstan. Standards certified by ISQuaEEA establish uniform requirements for all accrediting bodies around the world and ensure their relevance and global recognition. ACQH standards are adapted for Central Asian countries and comply with the worldwide requirements imposed by ISQua, making them comparable with other standards such as JCI, AC, ACHS, etc. ISQuaEEA, an official partner of the World Health Organization, independently evaluates accrediting bodies around the world, ensuring professional recognition and compliance with the highest international standards. Currently, 38 countries in the world have an accrediting body certified by ISQuaEEA, including Kazakhstan, the only country in the CIS. This status opens the door to the international market and confirms the global recognition of the country’s accrediting body, which was successfully achieved by the accrediting body of the Republic of Kazakhstan — the NGO “Experts and Consultants on External Comprehensive Assessment in the Field of Healthcare”

Briefing on the anti-corruption policy of the Accreditation Center
On August 28, 2023, the Accreditation Center held a briefing on the main aspects of the anti-corruption policy in the field of accreditation of medical organizations. During the briefing, the participants were informed in detail about the corruption risks associated with the accreditation process in medical organizations, as well as what actions can be regarded as bribery in this context. Among these unacceptable actions, the following were highlighted: acceptance of money in any form, gifts and other material values from officials and employees of medical organizations; food at the expense of a medical organization; travel to a medical organization at the expense of medical organization. At the same time, we remind you that corruption manifested in the Association reduces economic growth, distorts competition, and undermines the trust of Medical Organizations, as it is associated with serious legal and reputational risks. And also, it is a serious barrier to the sustainable development of the Association. Corruption is a social evil that requires intervention and elimination.

The next stage for successful applicants will be an internship, which grants access to accreditation without the right to conduct assessments. The curriculum of the ACQH Accreditation Center is accredited by The International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua), confirming that the training program meets international requirements and standards.
