REGISTRATION

Complaints provide a valuable source of insight into quality and safety-related problems in healthcare delivery system and can provide important and additional information on how to improve quality and patient safety, as well as reduce negative experiences of healthcare service providers and healthcare establishments. The Sindh Healthcare Commission (SHCC) was established to improve the quality of healthcare by implementation of healthcare service delivery standards in unregulated health system in the province of Sindh.

CLINICAL GOVERNANCE

First initiative of SHCC was to establish Sindh Service Delivery Standards (SSDS) for hospitals (secondary and tertiary level).
The Sindh Service Delivery Standards (SSDS) prescribe the service management and service provision standards for hospitals and are applicable to secondary as well as tertiary care hospitals. It provides the basis for organizational assessment of the delivery of quality patient care and services, and utilization of available resources. The SSDS for Hospitals will facilitate the SHCC licensing program for hospitals in Sindh province of Pakistan.
The SSDS will be provided to the hospitals on submission of formal application for the registration. Provisional License will be issued after initial assessment by the SHCC inspection team in regard of implementation of SSDS.
