The Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi has been accredited as a Centre of Excellence for the management of Acute Primary Stroke, becoming the first hospital in Africa to achieve this certification. The accreditation was granted by the Joint Commission International (JCI), the recognised global leader in health quality standards, following a rigorous Clinical Care Program Certification (CCPC) audit conducted in May 2021. “It testifies to our commitment to provide quality care guided by patient safety standards and aimed at good health outcomes,” the hospital said. Joint Commission Accreditation and Care Program certification means an organisation complies with the highest standards for safety and quality of care and is committed to continually improving patient care. The CCPC Standards are intended to benchmark specialty programs against the world’s most comprehensive and competitive standards.
