It is also only the second hospital in Asia to be JCI-accredited. In 2016, it was also the first in the country to be accredited by JCI as an Academic Medical Center Hospital. St. Luke’s - Global City, on the other hand, earned its own JCI hospital accreditation in 2012 after only two years of operation. Both hospitals are also accredited by JCI for the Clinical CareProgram Certification (CCPC) for the Primary Stroke Program.Germany-based accrediting body Temos (Trust, Effective Medicine, and Optimized Services) accredited both hospitals for Excellence in Medical Tourism and Quality in International Patient Care.
