Dubai Health has announced that it has earned Joint Commission International (JCI) enterprise accreditation across its integrated academic health system, recognizing its commitment to the highest international standards of healthcare quality across its institutional and academic operations, as well as its hospitals, contributing to an elevated patient experience.
Dubai Health has become the first integrated academic health system in the UAE to earn this accreditation, widely regarded as a global benchmark for healthcare quality and patient safety. The accreditation follows a rigorous evaluation by JCI, which assessed Dubai Health's central administrative functions against 149 standards, achieving 100% compliance. Its medical education and hospital operations also demonstrated exceptional performance, attaining 99.7% compliance rate across 1,170 standards.
At the institutional level, the assessment covered quality and performance improvement, governance and leadership, as well as system alignment and integration. At the academic and hospital levels, the evaluation assessed standards related to patient-centred care, patient safety, medical education and professional training, reflecting the maturity of Dubai Health's model and the seamless integration of care, learning and discovery.
This also marks the first time that all five Dubai Health hospitals; Rashid Hospital, Dubai Hospital, Hatta Hospital, Latifa Hospital, and Al Jalila Children's Hospital, have undergone the JCI Academic Medical Center (AMC) accreditation survey simultaneously, successfully achieving accreditation.
This achievement builds on the five hospitals’ continued commitment to quality and patient safety, having previously received JCI accreditation over the years.
Dr. Amer Sharif, CEO of Dubai Health and President of Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU) said: "As the first integrated academic health system in the UAE to receive JCI enterprise accreditation, we are proud to see our collective efforts acknowledged across our hospitals, academic and institutional operations. This milestone reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement and to creating better experiences and outcomes for the patients and communities we serve."
He added: "I extend my sincere appreciation to all our teams whose dedication made this possible. This success represents another step in our journey to advance health for humanity and further position Dubai and the UAE at the forefront of healthcare quality and institutional excellence."
Dr. Hanan Al Suwaidi, Deputy CEO and Chief Academic Officer of Dubai Health and Provost of MBRU, said: "Achieving JCI AMC accreditation reflects how closely medical education and healthcare delivery are connected across Dubai Health. It also highlights the quality of our education and clinical training programs, and our academic approach that brings together care, learning, and discovery. This integration enables us to nurture future healthcare professionals who contribute to advancing the standards of care."
Global Benchmark
Dr. Entesar Al Hammadi, Chair of Patient Safety and Quality at Dubai Health, said: "At Dubai Health, quality and patient safety are embedded in everything we do. Achieving internationally recognized accreditations reflects our ongoing focus on continuous improvement across our institutional, academic, and clinical operations. It also reinforces our ability to deliver consistent, safe care and ensure our healthcare system remains aligned with global best practices."
She added: "We pursued JCI accreditation because it is recognized globally as a benchmark for quality and patient safety. The accreditation process helped align practices across our healthcare and academic facilities and provided valuable opportunities to benchmark our performance against international standards. This achievement reflects our culture of continuous improvement and supports our mission to advance patient safety practices, in line with our “Patient First" promise.”
The Gold Seal of Approval
JCI is one of the world's leading healthcare accreditation bodies. Its Gold Seal of Approval® is widely recognized as a symbol of excellence in healthcare quality and patient safety.
JCI accreditation involves a rigorous evaluation process that assesses how healthcare organizations deliver care, ensure patient safety, and continuously improve their services. Its standards help create safer healthcare environments, promote consistency in care delivery, support better patient outcomes, and elevates patient experience across healthcare systems.

Parkin Company PJSC, Dubai’s largest provider of paid public parking facilities and services, has entered into an agreement with Dubai Health to implement a smart parking management system across Dubai Health facilities, aimed at providing patients and visitors with an easier and more seamless experience. The first phase of the system will be implemented at Rashid Hospital starting September 21, 2026.
Parkin will oversee the end-to-end management of parking operations, deploying advanced digital technologies and leveraging insights from on-ground operations to optimise parking and continuously improve the overall customer experience across Dubai Health facilities.
Patients will continue to receive free parking for the duration of their visit, including those receiving emergency care, attending consultations or laboratory appointments, accessing walk-in services, or undergoing ongoing treatment.
Patient visitors will receive up to three hours of free parking once per day upon providing patient details at the hospital reception. Two companions for admitted patients will have access to free parking for up to 24 hours, with extensions available as required.
People of Determination, senior citizens and pregnant women will continue to benefit from complimentary valet parking following eligibility verification. Hospital staff and authorised vehicles will be registered within the system to ensure seamless access.
Standard parking fees will apply to those not visiting Dubai Health facilities, with a 30-minute grace period per day to facilitate pick-ups and drop-offs.
Khalifa Baqer, Chief Operating Officer of Dubai Health said, “At Dubai Health, every touchpoint of the patient journey matters, from the moment a patient arrives at our facilities to the moment they leave, in line with our Patient First promise. This collaboration reflects our commitment to listening to feedback from patients and visitors and continuously improving their experience, ensuring convenient parking through smart digital solutions for those we are privileged to serve.”
He added: “We thank Parkin for their collaboration and look forward to continuing our work together to better serve our patients and community.”
Commenting on the partnership, Eng. Osama Hashim Alsafi, Chief Operating Officer of Parkin, said: "Our partnership with Dubai Health reflects our shared commitment to enhancing the experience of patients and visitors through smarter, more efficient mobility solutions. Medical facilities require exceptional reliability and ease of access, and by deploying Parkin’s state-of-the-art parking management technology at Dubai Health facilities, we aim to reduce congestion, optimise space utilisation and enhance the arrival experience, while keeping patients at the centre of the service.”
For added convenience, optional services at the site will include valet parking, car wash services, and electric vehicle charging, supporting a more seamless experience for patients and visitors.

Marking the start of the Council’s work, Dubai Health brought together 120 young Emiratis for its first youth retreat, titled “The Ball is in Your Court”. The retreat gave participants from different areas and specialties across Dubai Health the opportunity to share their aspirations, and help shape the Council’s future agenda. Working together, participants explored opportunities to contribute to Dubai Health’s priorities and healthcare development.
Inspired by padel, a sport built around quick thinking, teamwork and responding to what comes your way, “The Ball is in Your Court” encouraged participants to take ownership of their ideas and consider how they could turn them into practical initiatives.

Our first retreat brought this to life, bringing professionals from across our system to explore how they can contribute to Dubai Health’s priorities and the future of health”.
He added: “Guided by the words of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, ‘Our youth are the secret to UAE's development,’ we look forward to seeing the Council grow into an incubator of creativity, fostering ideas, building leadership capabilities and encouraging collaboration to advance health for humanity”.

Their backgrounds span medicine, nursing, clinical administration, engineering, strategy, project management, institutional performance, philanthropy and partnerships, and design thinking.
