Kuwait Ranks First Arab Nation in Medical Responsibility
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 category 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 Kuwait and its health institutions at regional and international forums, confirming the advanced levels it has reached in leadership, governance, and institutional excellence.”
Salman Al Sabah added that “the recognition is the fruit of sincere efforts, perseverance, and continuous work 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 milestone, which is recorded in the name of Kuwait.”
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 was honored after achieving the highest score among all qualified institutions in the Leadership, Governance, and Continuous Improvement category, 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 in this year’s results.
This achievement reflects Kuwait’s progress in leadership, governance, continuous improvement, and institutional development within the health sector.
The Arab Hospitals Federation had announced last June that the Medical Accountability Authority had secured first place in the Arab region in this category, prior to its formal recognition and the award ceremony held today in Abu Dhabi.
