St. Luke’s Medical Center is the first hospital in the Philippines to receive the prestigious Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA), a mark of excellence in medical travel and patient care. This achievement underscores its leadership in healthcare, meeting international standards for quality, safety, and patient-centered services, and strengthens its global reputation as a top medical tourism facility.

Medical tourism poses complex ethical challenges, demanding healthcare organizations adopt strategies prioritizing patient safety, trust, and care quality. Adhering to GHA's best practices—transparent communication, informed consent, privacy protections, and conflict resolution—enables these organizations to navigate challenges successfully. As the industry grows, vigilance of these standards is crucial, ensuring medical travel remains safe, ethical, and beneficial for patients globally.
