Abu Dhabi :Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), the largest healthcare network in the United Arab Emirates, has advanced its mission to provide the community with world-class care by successfully implementing a health system based on the highest international standards and continuing to receive accreditation from global healthcare accreditation organizations, like the Joint Commission International (JCI).

SEHA is one of the largest healthcare providers in the region, managing 13 hospitals and close to 45 primary health services, almost all of which have received JCI accreditation since 2006. Al Sila Hospital, which launched in 2015 and is situated in the western region of the UAE, is the latest facility managed by SEHA to receive the JCI three-year accreditation. Other accredited SEHA facilities, like Sheikh Khalifa Medical City ,and Al Mafraq Hospital, are gearing up to welcome the JCI surveyors back for re-accreditation in 2020 as they approach their three-year mark.

Celebrating the addition of Al Sila Hospital to SEHA’s long list of internationally-recognized facilities and centers, Rashid Al Qubaisi, Deputy CEO of SEHA, said: “Building a safe, sustainable and cohesive community is one of the most important priorities to the government, under which falls the vital role of keeping citizens, residents and visitors healthy and well. We are wholly committed to bringing the world’s highest standards of healthcare to the UAE’s doorstep through the optimum accreditation of all our facilities.”

JCI is an accrediting body that aims to improve patient safety and quality of healthcare across the globe by promoting rigorous standards of care and providing solutions for achieving peak performance, focusing on the quality of clinical services, patient safety, and clinical care.
