ASF Hospital Standard v9 Now Adopted as the Baseline for Certificate.ge Facility Assessments

The Certificate.ge Programme has formally adopted the Accréditation Sans Frontières (ASF) Hospital Standard version 9 as its primary reference framework for facility assessments, effective from January 2027.

ASF v9 introduces a four-category classification system — Crisis, Transitional, Standard, and Excellence — allowing facilities at different stages of development to be assessed against appropriate benchmarks while maintaining a clear improvement pathway toward full accreditation.

Facilities already holding Certificate.ge Verified status will transition to the new framework at their next scheduled review. New applicants will be assessed under ASF v9 from the opening of the 2026 verification cycle.
