Rising Care Standards in the Middle East Earn GWTG-CAD Silver Award
Could your hospital be recognized too?
The Association offers its sincerest congratulations to Sheikh Khalifa Specialty Hospital (SKSH) for achieving the Get with the Guidelines®-Coronary Artery Disease (GWTG-CAD) Silver Award, becoming the first hospital in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to earn this distinction. SKSH is a highly specialized regional facility dedicated to implementing evidence-based best practices that improve cardiac care and save lives. This follows the earlier achievement of GWTG-CAD Bronze; and SKSH was also the first Comprehensive Chest Pain Center in the Middle East.
When asked why this certification was important for SKSH and UAE, Fabrizio Clementi, MD, PhD, stated, “The data-driven approach of GWTG has facilitated ongoing process refinement, resulting in reduced readmission rates and improved acute treatment times. Moreover, the program has promoted enhanced multidisciplinary collaboration, thereby improving care coordination and boosting satisfaction among both patients and providers.”
