Recipients of the 2023 Scholarship give Seoul a thumbs up!

In Seoul, ISQua's 2023 conference gathered healthcare quality enthusiasts worldwide.

In the modern era, keeping patients safe and delivering high-quality care involves bringing together data from many sources so that clinicians, patients, managers and leaders, and policymakers can make decisions quickly and confidently. Smart healthcare organisations are increasingly able to exploit their data sources in this way, and are becoming Learning Health Systems.

ISQua, the International Society for Quality in Health Care, has established The International Academy of Quality & Safety (IAQS) as a prestigious institution to honour distinguished individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of Quality and Safety in Healthcare.

I would like to point your attention to a paper that has just been published in the International Journey for Quality in Health Care by Ellen Joan van Vliet and co-workers.

Universal Health Coverage (UHC) targets will remain unmet unless urgent steps are taken to strengthen health care by focusing on primary health care (PHC) and promoting self-care.

On the 4^th of May 2023, I had the honour and pleasure to join the National Health Regulatory Authority of Bahrain for the celebration of the achievement of ISQua EEA accreditation for the Accreditation Standards for Hospitals and Medical Clinics, 2^nd Edition.
