Durdans Hospital announced it has secured the Joint Commission International, USA (JCI) reaccreditation for the third time. 

The JCI re-accreditation process involved a comprehensive evaluation by expert surveyors, who measured over 1,200 elements of the hospital’s processes and operations, covering areas such as patient care, safety protocols, hospital operations, and governance. 

Accordingly, Durdans Hospital was honoured with reaccreditation thanks to its implementation of advanced patient safety protocols, continuous quality improvement initiatives, comprehensive staff training programmes, and a commitment to patient-centred care. 

These efforts ensure that every aspect of patient care at Durdans is aligned with international best practices, contributing to superior clinical outcomes, patient safety, and operational efficiency. 

Durdans Hospital Chief Operating Officer Mahanil Perera commented, “Our ability to receive JCI reaccreditation is the result of the smart work and dedication of our entire team. It highlights our ongoing commitment to excellence in healthcare and our unwavering focus on patient safety and quality care.

It also gives Sri Lanka recognition in the global map as a medical tourist destination, giving high suitability for foreign nationals to visit the country for medical treatment purposes.”

Senior Manager Quality Assurance Nishadi Vithanage added, “We are dedicated to meeting and exceeding all quality standards, which is reflected in this achievement.
