| Abstrakt: | Introduction: The implementation of hospital accreditation standards in healthcare systems in Yemen that ensure safe and high-quality healthcare services is hampered by specific challenges. Therefore, this study was purposed to explore the challenges and strategies for applying hospital accreditation standards among healthcare professionals in Yemen. Methods: A qualitative, phenomenological design was adopted to conduct this study. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data during the period from January 1, 2022, to February 28, 2022. Results: Based on the content analysis, the study outcomes and lack of (i) funding, (ii) competent human resources, (iii) optimal infrastructure, and (iv) equipment and supplies deter the implementation of hospital accreditation standards. Also, this study highlighted the cultural and social barriers limiting the effectiveness of hospital accreditation standards, the need for increased investment in healthcare infrastructure and human resources, and cultural sensitivity training for healthcare professionals to enhance the implementation of and compliance with hospital accreditation standards. Conclusions: Policymakers should engage global corporations and development partners for technical assistance and capacity building that support the local application of hospital accreditation standards.
