%X The aim of this article is to cast the light on the importance of the external quality bodies in improving healthcare services in Lebanon, whether in large hospitals or medical institutions, or even polyclinics and wellness centers. By doing so, this research¡¯s other goal is to mobilize the awareness of the local healthcare market on the crucial role of the external quality bodies.
