St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem was the first hospital in the occupied Palestinian territories to receive the prestigious Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. JCI, a US-based organisation, sets the highest global standards for patient safety and service quality in healthcare facilities worldwide. In 2025, our Hebron Hospital received JCI accreditation for the first time. Through our commitment to quality eye care, we have also been accredited by the ISO 9001:2015 (Accreditation for Quality Control).
