City Centre Clinic
MAF’s clinic recognised for healthcare excellence
DUBAI, November 4, 2014
Majid Al Futtaim Healthcare’s City Centre Clinic, a Daycare Surgery Centre designed to serve the primary healthcare needs of individuals and families in Dubai, has recently received the accreditation from the Joint Commission International (JCI).
It granted the clinic the ‘Gold Seal of Approval,’ which validates the quality of healthcare services it offers and confirms its compliance with global standards of excellence in healthcare, said a statement.
JCI is a non-profit international organisation that sets performance standards for healthcare providers, which once granted are equivalent to a gold standard in Europe and the US.
Holding a JCI accreditation acknowledges the dedication to deliver the highest quality care and patient safety, and it reiterates MAF Healthcare’s commitment to best-in-class practices and adherence to the highest of international standards in healthcare and the continuous improvements in City Centre Clinic’s performance and the outcomes of patient care, it said.
Omar Al Shunnar, CEO at Majid Al Futtaim – Healthcare, said: “Receiving the Gold Seal of Approval from JCI is a tremendous milestone and definitely a great moment for the centre. As a relatively new Daycare Surgery Centre, being accredited at such an early stage reflects Majid Al Futtaim’s leadership and vision to create great moments in our industries of specialisation.
“City Centre Clinic is committed to delivering quality service and strives to continuously improve its performance as well as share and learn best practices from organisations worldwide and this recognition is an attestation to the same.”
The assessment was conducted by a JCI representative, who flew in from the US. Every aspect of the clinic was audited, including facility management and safety, patient safety goals, infection control, access to care, quality improvement, information management, policies & procedures, processes, and medical equipment.
As multi-specialty Daycare Surgery Centre, City Centre Clinic provides quality healthcare services to communities in the UAE, conveniently adjoined to City Centre Deira with areas of specialisation that include cardiology, dentistry, dermatology, ophthalmology, dietetics, ENT (ear, nose and throat), general practice, endocrinology, general and laparoscopic surgery, gastroenterology, general medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, paediatrics, plastic surgery and urology. - TradeArabia News Service
