Shifa earns historic dual JCI honor

June 24, 2026 (MLN): In a landmark achievement for Pakistan's healthcare sector, Shifa International Hospitals Limited has become the first hospital in the world to simultaneously receive the Joint Commission International (JCI) Clinical Care Program Certification (CCPC) for both its Acute Ischemic Stroke Program and Acute Coronary Syndrome Program.

The prestigious recognition places Shifa International in an exclusive league of healthcare institutions, making it the only hospital globally to hold both certifications at the same time.

The dual accreditation by the Joint Commission International (JCI) indicates the hospital's adherence to the highest international standards in patient safety, clinical excellence, and specialized care for two of the world's most critical medical emergencies, stroke and heart disease.

Shifa International described the achievement as a "historic milestone" not only for the institution but also for Pakistan's healthcare industry, highlighting the country's growing capability to deliver world-class medical services and specialized treatment.

The certifications recognize hospitals that demonstrate exceptional performance in delivering evidence-based care, maintaining robust clinical protocols, and ensuring continuous quality improvement in patient outcomes.

The achievement is expected to further strengthen Pakistan's standing on the global healthcare map and reinforce confidence in the country's medical institutions among local and international patients alike.
