A spokesperson for the hospital highlighted these acclaims as evidence of Pakistan's capability to adhere to internationally recognized healthcare quality and patient safety standards. According to the representative, the JCI accreditation granted to Shifa Enterprise underscores the organization's dedication to upholding unwavering standards of quality, patient safety, clinical excellence, and evidence-based care across all its facilities and services. The hospital official emphasized a particularly significant accomplishment: the JCI accreditation of Shifa Ambulance Service (SAS), marking the first time an ambulance service in Pakistan has earned this internationally respected certification.
