Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, a Mubadala Health partner, won two major wins in the “International Hospital Federation” (IHF) Awards 2022
The winning categories included the Dr. Kwang Tae Kim Grand Hospital Award, which is the highest honour for an individual hospital that demonstrates excellence in five categories, including: health service quality, patient experience and workforce well-being, and the Ashikaga-Nikken Excellence Award for Green Hospitals, which recognises hospitals that demonstrate a commitment to environmental sustainability.
Dr. Jorge Guzman, the CEO of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, said, “These prestigious awards recognise the work we do to provide the best care to our patients and reinforce the milestones we continue to achieve. They cement our drive to deliver premium, and sustainable complex medical care to our patients, and to be the best place to work for our caregivers. Our patient-first principle compels us to continuously seek to enhance operational effectiveness and treatment quality, helping us become the best hospital in the wider region. We take pride in supporting governmental programmes, leading research projects, and providing the region with cutting-edge clinical solutions.”
