5. Develop and empower our staff through appropriate recruitment, orientation, training, continuing professional development and clear understanding of roles and responsibilities.
6. Listen to our patients and stakeholders through feedback, complaints, compliments, surveys, engagement and effective communication, using this information to improve our services.

10. Ensure effective communication between management, employees, patients and other stakeholders to promote transparency, accountability and coordinated service delivery.

Nyumbani Hospital recognizes that quality is everyone's responsibility. Management shall provide the leadership, resources and systems necessary to support this policy, while every employee shall contribute to maintaining and improving the quality and safety of healthcare services.

We are committed to continually improving our Quality Management System, patient experience, patient safety and overall service performance, with the ultimate goal of delivering healthcare that our patients can trust and our regulators can confidently recognize as compliant and continually improving.

This Quality Policy is communicated to all employees, made available to relevant interested parties, implemented throughout the Hospital and reviewed at least annually for its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.
