Certification and Accreditation
Joint Commission International (JCI) Accreditation
In July 2016, AKUH was re-accredited for Joint Commission International (JCI). Since its first accreditation in July 2013, AKUH is the first hospital in Kenya to receive this coveted accreditation. The JCI accreditation, administered out of Chicago, USA, is an external validation that AKUH is providing the highest quality of patient care and safety in line with international peer hospitals. It is a testimony of our commitment to patient safety and highest quality as measured by international standards.
All Outpatient Medical Centres are not accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI). The accreditation is only achieved by the main hospital on 3rd Parklands Avenue Nairobi.
International Quality Assurance 9001:2015 Certification
In May 2018, AKUH was re-certified for ISO 9001:2015 by the International Organization for Standardization. This replaced ISO 9001:2008 that the hospital had earlier received. AKUH was the first hospital in East Africa to receive the prestigious certification which is awarded to organizations that are found to conform fully to standards set for quality management systems.
South African National & Accreditation Service (SANAS) Certification
In August 2011, the medical diagnostic laboratory of the Aga Khan University Hospital was awarded the coveted South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) accreditation becoming the first hospital laboratory in East and Central Africa to attain this qualification. SANAS oversees the operations and quality systems of medical or healthcare laboratories including the training of personnel and the compliance to consensus-based standards and guidelines, ISO 15189:2012 quality systems and other international standards such as ISO 17025 to ensure quality patient care.
College of American Pathologists (CAP) Accreditation
CAP Inspectors examine the laboratory's records and quality control of procedures, laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management. This Accreditation will be recertified every two years.
