In the global health care community, June 9 is an opportunity to recognize the pivotal role of accreditation in advancing quality in health care. Accreditation Canada (AC) has been instrumental in transforming healthcare systems and driving continuous quality improvement for a remarkable 65 years. On World Accreditation Day, we celebrate this significant milestone and reflect on the organization's impact, achievements, and commitment to patient safety and excellence in healthcare.

World Accreditation Day, established by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) is an initiative created to recognize and bring awareness to the value of accreditation.
