Clínica Anglo Americana, Peru Joins the MEG Family

We are delighted to announce that Clínica Anglo Americana in Peru is now part of the MEG family! 

Clínica Anglo Americana, the first ever hospital in Peru to obtain JCI accreditation, is using MEG's Audit Management tool to support their goal of placing the patient at the centre of their work and providing medical care based on international safety and quality standards


Clínica Anglo Americana

Over a century ago, in 1921, led by Archibold Samuel Cooper, Clínica Anglo Americana was built to provide quality medical services to Lima's English and North American residents. Today, it is one of the most well-renowned hospitals in Peru, with three branches, state-of-the-art laboratories and care units, 2500+ staff, and 50+ specialities ranging from cardiology to internal medicine, gynaecology, paediatrics, and traumatology.

Accredited by the Joint Commission International in 2013, the Clínica Anglo Americana was the first medical centre in Peru to obtain certification from the Joint Commission International for University Hospitals. Since then, they have been re-accredited four times. To honour the hospital’s commitment to patient health and safety and mark 100 years since its foundation, it was recently awarded the Medal and Diploma of Honor by The Presidency of the Congress of the Republic of Peru.

Why Choose MEG?

JCI is an established global authority in accrediting healthcare facilities. To maintain its JCI accreditation, Clínica Anglo Americana regularly undergoes a thorough assessment to evaluate and enhance the quality and safety of its services.

The Importance of Understanding ‘Learning’ in Patient Safety

Patient safety is a critical aspect of the healthcare system that has received significant attention in recent years. It is fundamental to providing high-quality, effective and efficient care, improving patient outcomes, and preventing adverse events. It is also an essential factor for building trust between patients and healthcare providers. 

That's why it is crucial for healthcare organisations and professionals to understand the various concepts and practices that contribute to overall patient safety. And therein comes the concept of 'learning'.
