Medical Associates Now Internationally Accredited

Private Health Care Institution, Medical Associates, can now boast accredited status at the international level, after decades of being in operation. Speaking at a News Conference to make the announcement on Wednesday, Medical Director Dr. Arun Narinesingh, said there is no hospital in Trinidad and Tobago or the Caribbean that is internationally accredited. He explained that some hospitals have departments that are accredited but a complete hospital in the region has not achieved this until now. He said their accreditation process started in 2018 through an English company called Trent. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Trent went out of business and handed them over to Temos who awarded them full accreditation, following a number of requirements the hospital had to implement.
