Canadian Specialist Hospital gets JCI Accreditation

Canadian Specialist Hospital (CSH), one of the largest private hospitals in Dubai catering to the tertiary healthcare needs of the Middle East, has been awarded the prestigious Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, the leading industry benchmark for measuring the delivery of quality healthcare.

JCI has been working with health care organizations, ministries of health, and global organizations in over 80 countries since 1994. It focuses on improving the safety of patient care through the provision of accreditation and certification services as well as through advisory and educational services aimed at helping organizations implement practical and sustainable solutions. An international committee of health care experts makes the accreditation decisions.

”This accreditation demonstrates our commitment to improving quality, ensuring a safe environment and reducing risks to patients and staff. The management and staff of Canadian Specialist Hospital are fully committed to providing quality, standards-based healthcare in the Middle East, while ensuring continuous improvement is integral to the operation of the facility. The Joint Commission standards are the driving force behind our practices and processes”, said Dr. Hayder Al Zubaidy, CEO of Canadian Hospital.

“It is certain to me and my team that CSH has made great efforts in a very short span of time to qualify well for the accreditation. The extremely high score achieved is seen rarely in JCI surveys”, said Ms. Marlis Daer, Team Leader of JCI surveyors.

JCI's standards were developed by health care experts from around the world and were tested in every region. JCI Advisory Councils in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific are made up of health care leaders who provide guidance on key patient safety and quality issues. They provide practical solutions to help develop clinical services, improve the quality of care, enhance patient safety, reduce and manage risk, and achieve international standards. It brings to the region expertise and best practices gained in working with the global community.

Canadian Specialist Hospital is located in the convenience of Abu Hail in Deira.
