JCI Recognizes Bumrungrad Hospital for Best Practices in Heart Attack and Stroke Treatment

PRLog (Press Release) – The Joint Commission International (JCI) - the leading international evaluator of hospital quality, certified that the hospital's programs for treating strokes and heart attacks meet international standards and follow the latest US clinical guidelines.

Bumrungrad received these two "disease-specific" accreditations after JCI reviewers reviewed every facet of care for the hospital's stroke and heart attack patients, including emergency measures, rapid imaging and diagnosis, experienced specialists, and effective long-term treatment.
JCI criteria are based on international, best-practice clinical guidelines. Bumrungrad is one of only two hospitals outside the US to receive such disease-specific accreditation, and it is the first to be accredited for more than one program.

These latest JCI certifications give Bumrungrad patients independent assurance that the hospital does everything a hospital should to maximize their chances for survival and recovery from these two dangerous medical conditions.
