The Centre has, for the second time, received the prestigious Joint Commission International (JCI) Gold Seal of Approval®, an accreditation and certification focused on adherence to outstanding standards of care and patient safety outcomes, at its facility in Zayed Sports City in Abu Dhabi.
Dr Jose Lopez, Chief Executive Officer of Emirates International Specialist Hospital , said: “We are very proud of the excellent report we received from the JCI team on the high standards of patient care and clinical services that we offer.

JCI is the world’s largest health-care accrediting agency that evaluates organizations in more than 90 countries and supports them to excel in providing safe and effective care. The certification is the culmination of a rigorous process that involved a comprehensive on-site survey, which took place in December, by JCI surveyors who evaluated the compliance of Emirates International Specialist Hospital with internationally approved healthcare standards that define the performance expectations, structures, and functions that must be in place for accreditation.
Dr Lopez said: “The JCI methodology aims to empower healthcare organizations to implement global best-practices and change by providing relevant education and training to ultimately enhance patient safety and the quality of care.”
Director of Operations at Emirates International Specialist Hospital , Rita McGrath, concluded: “This certification is an endorsement of our patient centered culture that strives to provide compassionate and quality care for our patients and their families.
