Ajman, Dec 18: Gulf Medical College Hospital and Research center Ajman, which recently achieved International Accreditation from JCI International, has added another feather in its cap by joining the international body AAHCI.

"We wish to constantly improve the quality and offer best possible service to the patients at all times. Affordable quality healthcare has been the bottom-line of our approach ever since the hospital was set up over a decade ago,"says Akbar Moideen Thumbay, Director Healthcare Operations of Thumbay Group.

"By joining this organization, we wish to interact and exchange ideas on good medical practices with other leading hospitals around world," he added.

"AAHCI is creating new frameworks and platforms for discussion about policy that will help all of us engage in the mission of serving health needs globally. The AAHCI brings together leaders to share knowledge about developing partnerships with other institutions in the developed and developing world, optimizing our capacity for innovation and impact," he said.

"All academic health centers innovate, but there is no need to create every wheel from scratch. AAHC International is a think tank fostering an exchange of experiences and best practices. It also offers opportunities for new and exciting partnerships to develop.

Academic health centers are increasingly seeking better alignment among their key components of health professions education, biomedical and clinical research, and patient care.  The Association of Academic Health Centers International is the only international organization representing all of these missions of fully developed and developing academic health centers," he added.
