On 12 July 2005, CGH became the second hospital in Singapore to receive the prestigious international Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. This accreditation recognises the hospital’s performance in complying with international health care quality standards from the American-based Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). It demonstrates our commitment to improving quality, ensuring a safe environment for, and reducing risks to patients and staff.

Continuing the quality journey to meet international standards in clinical quality and patient safety, CGH was re-accredited by JCI in April 2008 and April 2011.

In 2007, CGH’s Heart Failure Programme and Acute Myocardial Infarction Programme also received the stamp of approval from JCI. We are the first hospital in the world to have two JCI certified programmes in cardiac care, and the first hospital in Singapore to receive JCI Disease-Specific Care certification for our care programmes. This is testament to the quality of our programmes, showing that they are on par with international standards for similar disease management programmes. Both programmes were re-accredited in 2010.
