Malawi’s Blantrye Adventist Hospital has been accredited with a 98% from the Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa, making it the next go to hospital in the region. 

The accreditation means that the hospital complies with internationally recognised standards aligned with the principles of the International Society for Quality in Health Care.

The hospital is the first in the country to receive such a recognition.

Blantrye Adventist Hospital is a private hospital in Malawi owned by the Adventist church.

The hospital currently has about 45 beds and sees about thirty thousand patients a year.

They offer a range of services and their patients are from the rural and urban areas of Malei.

Late last year the hospital  became the first hospital in Malawi to achieve Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa.

The Chief Operations Officer and Quality Manager of the hospital Patrick Gausi says the journey of achieving this milestone started way back in 2021

” We have scored 84%. So apart from the 84%, we were meant to have all the departments that I had actually earlier on mentioned. We actually had to score a percentage of 80% above. So we still had certain departments which had scored less than 80%. And this is where we had to fix and to pull out those departments, despite having an average score of 84%.”
