Our mission, your health

We share the same vision

The on-going quality improvement is maintained for care services, by preserving the best accreditation rating according to the standards, and highlighting the risk management and the charter of patients’ rights.

We shall keep systematically listening to our clients (patients, staff and Doctors) while focusing on the employees in order to improve their satisfaction, from a financial perspective and by improving their work environment and encouraging them to access to higher and more specialized education.

A prevention service shall be established through pursuing a scientific collaboration with academic national or international institutions.
