22 Jun 2022
This accomplishment is a significant milestone for the national healthcare system which demonstrates commitment to patient safety and quality services.
St. John Eye Hospital has been awarded the Golden Seal of Quality by the Joint Commission International (JCI) for quality medical services and patient safety.
This accreditation comes for the fourth time in 9 years, as St. John Eye Hospital was accredited in 2013, and it was at that time, the first hospital in East Jerusalem to achieve this prestigious international accreditation.
JCI surveyors conducted the most recent survey in the main hospital in Jerusalem last week and have notified the Hospital management of this accomplishment.
“This prestigious accreditation is a validation of our commitment to the provision of quality care that values patient safety and the continuous improvement of medical performance and ophthalmic care” stated Dr. Ahmed Ma’ali, The Chief Executive Officer of St. John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group. He emphasized the importance of this achievement in supporting St. John Eye Hospital’s mission, vision, and plans to achieve its strategic goals to firmly place the hospital in line with the best eye hospitals worldwide.
The St. John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital is committed to keeping pace with the dynamics of global health care by providing the best ophthalmic services, creating a culture of safety in addition to empowering the national health care systems. Many of our patients treated at the Jerusalem Hospital come from the Gaza Strip and West Bank due to the limited access to tertiary eye services. This confirms our leading role in the provision of specialized eye care to All regardless of race, religion, social class, or ability to pay.
Joint Commission International (JCI) is a US-based non-profit organization works to improve patient safety and quality of health care in the international community by offering education, publications, advisory services, and international accreditation and certification in more than 100 countries.
