I agree with you 100% in what you mentioned before. I think accreditation can just boost the reputation of a Hospital and get it in the lists of medical tourism agencies. Lots of money, and the expected value differs in each case. However this doesn't mean thet an accredited hospital offers better services than a non accredited (but I would personally expect and demand more in an accredited one)Karagiannis Kostashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614586958466837197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963284046237273406.post-15684476999939868702012-03-07T18:26:50.416+02:002012-03-07T18:26:50.416+02:00Hi
