Shifa International Makes Global History with Dual JCI Healthcare Certifications


Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad has reached a landmark achievement in healthcare by becoming the first hospital in the world to receive two prestigious Joint Commission International (JCI) Clinical Care Programme Certifications simultaneously.
The certifications were awarded for excellence in Acute Ischemic Stroke care and Acute Coronary Syndrome treatment.
This accomplishment places the hospital among an elite group of medical institutions recognized for delivering high-quality patient care according to rigorous international standards.

The certifications were granted following an extensive assessment conducted by JCI experts, who carefully reviewed every stage of patient care.
The evaluation examined emergency response procedures, diagnostic accuracy, treatment effectiveness, rehabilitation services, and long-term patient management.
Throughout the review process, Shifa International successfully demonstrated its ability to deliver coordinated, evidence-based care while maintaining high standards of patient safety. The hospital’s systems and clinical practices met the stringent requirements.

While a small number of hospitals around the world have earned certification in either stroke care or heart care, Shifa International has become the first institution globally to achieve both distinctions at the same time.
This unique accomplishment sets a new benchmark in specialized healthcare services. The achievement also marks a historic first for Pakistan.
No other hospital in the country has previously received JCI Clinical Care Programme Certifications for both Acute Ischemic Stroke and Acute Coronary Syndrome care.

Hospital leadership described the recognition as a proud achievement for doctors, nurses, technicians, and support staff who contributed to maintaining exceptional standards of care.
The accomplishment builds upon Shifa International’s previous recognition as a JCI-accredited Academic Medical Center. The certifications underscore the hospital’s dedication to evidence-based treatment for stroke and heart disease, two major causes of death and disability worldwide.
By adopting internationally approved clinical practices, the institution continues to improve outcomes for patient
