MAKATI Medical Center (MakatiMed) commemorated 13 years of continuous compliance with the globally renowned Joint Commission International (JCI) quality and safety standards, having first been accredited in 2011, followed by three more successful re-accreditations. This achievement was celebrated during JCI's 25th anniversary, where institutions worldwide were honored for their sustained dedication to health care excellence. MakatiMed was recognized alongside other top hospitals from Europe and the Middle East for maintaining an exceptional record of 13 years of JCI accreditation. The recognition was conferred during the 47th International Hospital Federation (IHF) World Hospital Congress held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Representing MakatiMed to receive the plaque were Interim Co-President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Medical Director Saturnino Javier and Pharmacy and Therapeutics Division head Hazel Faye Docuyanan. The award was presented by JCI officials, led by Jonathan Perlin, president and CEO of The Joint Commission and JCI. MakatiMed's journey to becoming a JCI-accredited institution began under the leadership of former President and CEO Rose Montenegro and former Medical Director Benjamin Alimurung. Since then, the hospital's unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of health care has been spearheaded by the Hospital Compliance, Licensing and Accreditation Division head Mary Milagros Uy. Reflecting on the honor, Javier emphasized, "The JCI accreditation of Makati Medical Center embodies the singular commitment of the entire [MakatiMed] community to render safe and top-quality health care services to all."
