Mumbai: The Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital here has secured The Joint Commission International's USA Gold Seal of Approval accreditation as a symbol of quality and commitment to very high standards and safety of the patients, it was announced.

JCI's Accreditation and Certification Operations division COO Mark G. Pelletier commended the KDAH for "successfully achieving this certification and for its dedicated to become a quality improvement organisation".
KDAH operates under a full-time specialist system ensuring a round-the-clock availability of specialists and access to dedicated consulting specialists and has 15 centres of excellence, 26 speciality departments, 20 super speciality Clinics and five support groups.
