“Joint Commission International accreditation equips hospitals with processes that lead to significant improvements across patient safety, staff education, and quality outcomes,” said Joel Roos, MD, MBA, MHCDS, CPE, Vice President, International Accreditation, Quality Improvement and Safety, JCI. “We commend Desun Hospital for demonstrating its commitment to patient safety and global healthcare standards.”
