On 11 June 2005, CGH received 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 underwent the triennial JCI re-accreditation in 2008. On 25 April 2008, we were successfully re-accredited by JCI for another three years.

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, that they are on par with international standards for similar disease management programmes.
