Facility Registration

Requirements for Registration of Health Facilities

To maintain high standards and ensure patient safety, health facility registration plays a crucial role. Health facility registration is a process through which healthcare institutions, such as hospitals, clinics, and laboratories, are officially recognized and authorized to provide medical services.

The registration process is not a one-time event but an ongoing commitment to quality improvement. Registered facilities are subject to regular inspections and assessments to ensure compliance with evolving healthcare standards.

This continual evaluation promotes a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging healthcare facilities to upgrade their infrastructure, adopt advanced technologies, and implement best practices for the benefit of patients.

Health facility registration ensures compliance with legal and regulatory requirements set by Edo State Governemnt.

It ensures that facilities operate within the framework of applicable laws, including licensing, accreditation, and safety regulations.

Compliance with these regulations promotes transparency, accountability, and ethical practices within the healthcare sector.
