Sheikh Khalifa Medical City – Ajman has secured international Centre of Excellence recognition for its women and children’s care, according to details published on the facility’s official accreditations page. The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International granted the status specifically to the Women and Children’s Hospital for its performance in obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics. Hospital administrators described the accreditation as validation of integrated, patient-centered practices that prioritize safety and quality outcomes for mothers, newborns and pediatric patients. The evaluation process examined clinical protocols, staff training and patient support systems before conferring the designation.
The Centre of Excellence award from ACHSI reflects the hospital’s sustained investment in specialized maternal and child health services, a hospital statement indicated. Officials highlighted that the recognition builds upon prior assessments confirming adherence to rigorous international benchmarks. This latest honor positions the Ajman facility among select regional providers meeting elevated care thresholds for vulnerable patient groups. Data from the hospital’s public records confirm the CoE status covers comprehensive obstetric, gynecologic and pediatric departments.
Sheikh Khalifa Hospital Women and Children maintains separate accreditation as a Baby-Friendly Hospital under criteria set by the World Health Organization and UNICEF, the facility’s accreditations page reported. The same site lists Gold Seal of Approval status from the Joint Commission International, confirming compliance with global patient safety and quality protocols. These layered credentials, accumulated over multiple review cycles, demonstrate consistent performance across maternal, neonatal and pediatric services according to hospital documentation.
Sheikh Khalifa Medical City – Ajman achieved Level 4 accreditation, the highest tier, under the World Health Organization’s Patient Safety Friendly Hospital Initiative, a hospital announcement on LinkedIn stated. The medical city employs between 1,001 and 5,000 staff and functions as a core healthcare provider within Ajman, according to its LinkedIn company profile. That patient-safety milestone, granted in recent months, aligns with parallel efforts to strengthen clinical governance and infection-control measures across UAE health facilities.
The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International recognition arrives amid the hospital’s established partnerships aimed at elevating pediatric and maternal care standards, hospital records show. Earlier re-accreditation as a Baby-Friendly Hospital by WHO and UNICEF occurred in March 2023, according to a facility news release from that period. These cumulative designations reinforce the medical city’s role in delivering advanced care within the emirate’s expanding healthcare network, with each accreditation requiring periodic reassessment to maintain validity.
