Four kinds of healthcare organisation
Each has different requirements and breaks in a different place first, so each has its own page.
ITF Health works with hospitals, clinics and polyclinics, medical laboratories and medical device companies. Hospitals and clinics prepare for CBAHI. Laboratories and blood banks have their own CBAHI programme. Device companies answer to SFDA, and the quality system they need depends on what they do with devices.

SFDA expects something different of a manufacturer, an authorised representative and a distributor. The usual first break is a lot nobody can trace to the hospital that received it.

Every division keeps records to the same standard, so the second one you need works the way the first one did.
Send the date that started this
A survey date, an SFDA inspection or a tender line usually starts the work. Send it, and the first call counts back from it.
