Hospitals to get accreditation scores like hotels in safety push
Under the Bill, hospitals will be evaluated on key indicators such as patient safety, quality of care, staffing levels, and availability of medicines and equipment.
Kenyans will soon have the power to make informed choices on where to seek treatment after the government unveiled plans to assign every hospital in the country a quality score—much like the star ratings used for hotels.
The proposed scoring and rating system, contained in the Quality Healthcare and Patient Safety Bill, 2025, will assess facilities on service delivery, safety, and patient care standards, offering citizens a transparent guide to the quality of care available.
