Salman Al-Sabah: Continuing efforts to enhance performance levels and institutional excellence in the health sector
The Arab Hospitals Federation honored Kuwait, represented by the Medical Accountability Authority, for securing first place in the Arab region in the Leadership, Governance, and Continuous Improvement track during the seventh edition of the Golden Initiative for Healthcare Excellence certification.
Speaking to KUNA after the ceremony, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health Sheikh Dr. Salman Khalifa Al Sabah stated that “this achievement is a source of pride and reflects the distinguished image of the State of Kuwait and its health institutions on regional and international platforms, confirming the advanced levels it has reached in leadership, governance, and institutional excellence.”
Sheikh Salman Al Sabah added that “this recognition is the fruit of the sincere efforts, perseverance, and continuous work undertaken by all employees of the Medical Accountability Authority,” emphasizing that his presence to receive the award was “on behalf of an integrated team whose efforts and dedication contributed to achieving this accomplishment, which is recorded in Kuwait’s name.”
He expressed his gratitude and appreciation to the officials and all staff of the Medical Accountability Authority for their efforts and contributions to this achievement, stressing the importance of continuing work to enhance performance levels and institutional excellence in the health sector.
Sheikh Salman Al Sabah received the award during the ceremony held in the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, under the patronage of UAE Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, and in the presence of a delegation from the Medical Accountability Authority representatives, led by Dr. Layla Al-Anzi.
The authority’s recognition came after it achieved the highest score among all qualified institutions in the Leadership, Governance, and Continuous Improvement track, earning the Platinum classification in the seventh edition of the initiative organized by the Arab Hospitals Federation.
The initiative saw 323 participation applications from institutions in 10 Arab countries, which were evaluated according to specialized institutional standards, with only 45 institutions receiving recognition and honor among this year’s results.
This achievement reflects the progress made by the State of Kuwait in the fields of leadership, governance, continuous improvement, and institutional development within the health sector.
The Arab Hospitals Federation had previously announced in June that the Medical Accountability Authority secured first place in the Arab region in this track, before it was honored and the award presented today in Abu Dhabi.
