With a view to continuously improving and upgrading the level of quality of health care services provided under the GHS, the Health Insurance Organisation has set as one of its priorities the adoption and implementation of clinical guidelines, quality standards and protocols based on evidence-based medical practice.
In view of the above, with a view to strengthening the field of prevention within the GHS, the Agency wishes to inform the public that the following clinical guidelines (CCGs) have been implemented:
- Screening for Iron deficiency/ Iron deficiency anaemia in childhood
- Developmental Hip Dysplasia
- Screening for Vision in children
The above guidelines have been prepared by the relevant scientific societies.
Finally, it is recalled that in 2021 the Agency started its collaboration with the international organisation NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), in the context of which the adaptation and adoption of a number of guidelines based on the conditions set by NICE is promoted, with the aim of consolidating the tools and mechanisms for the promotion of evidence-based and cost-effective health services within the framework of the GHS.
