Notre Dame Des Secours - Chunds - - Accreditation and Quality

In the quest for excellence, the CHUNDS strives to provide high-quality services to the nearby communities, while taking into consideration national and international requirements for hospital accreditation.

With this in mind, CHUNDS set up a quality management system in 2017, based on the ISO 9001-2015 standard recommendations, and those of the Lebanese accreditation and of the health international standards.

Under this objective, the CHUNDS listens carefully to its patients, visitors, physicians and employees.
