The View ..The First Hospital in Qatar to Earn JCI 8th Edition Accreditation
With this achievement, The View Hospital becomes the first private hospital in Qatar to meet the latest JCI standards – 8th Edition, a testament to its unwavering focus on clinical excellence, continuous improvement, and patient-centered care.
The View Hospital underwent a rigorous on-site survey on April 27. During the survey, a team of Joint Commission International expert surveyors evaluated compliance with hospital standards related to a variety of areas, including the International Patient Safety Goals, patient assessment and care, anesthesia and surgical care, medication management, patient and family education, quality improvement, infection prevention and control, governance and leadership, facility management, staff qualifications and education, and information management.
'This accreditation is more than a recognition, it's a reflection of how we operate every day,' said Dr. Fatih Mehmet Gul, Chief Executive Officer of The View Hospital. 'From the structure of our workflows to the way teams communicate and make decisions, patient safety and quality of care are embedded in every step. It's a culture we've built intentionally -excellence here isn't a special effort- it's simply how we work.'
JCI's Gold Seal of Approval is recognized worldwide as the hallmark of a high-performing healthcare institution. Accreditation under the 8th Edition reflects a hospital's ability to integrate the latest international safety goals and quality protocols into every layer of service delivery — from bedside care to executive leadership.
For The View Hospital, the recognition is both a destination and a beginning.
Commenting on the achievement, Joe Hazel, CEO of Apex Health, stated: 'We aspire to create a healthcare model that not only meets the highest international standards but also evolves with the communities we serve. Our goal is to ensure that every hospital within Apex Health, in Qatar and beyond, delivers care that is globally benchmarked, digitally enabled, and locally trusted.'
He added: 'Achieving this accreditation under the Eighth Edition holds particular significance. These latest standards go beyond clinical safety — they emphasize digital health integration, patient engagement, leadership accountability, and continuous improvement across the entire care journey.
It reflects our commitment to delivering healthcare that is modern, data-driven, and truly centered around the patient. We are proud to be at the forefront of this transformation in the region.'
With JCI accreditation now in place, and after the recognition by Newsweek, The View Hospital reaffirms its commitment to delivering care that is not only safe and effective but also guided by compassion, precision, and trust.

Referral process monitored for equitable patient distribution
The referral process is closely monitored to ensure equitable distribution of patients and the efficient use of healthcare resources. Referrals are facilitated through a secure electronic platform, ensuring confidentiality and seamless data exchange with the private hospitals. Eligible patients are contacted to obtain their consent before the referral is initiated. Once consent is given, the referral is transmitted securely via the platform. Additionally, selected physicians at the participating private hospitals have been granted limited, secure access to patients' medical files at HMC to support continuity of care. Patients may also request their medical reports from HMC when needed to assist in treatment decisions at the referral facility. Al Naimi highlighted that this referral initiative initially began with The View Hospital and has now expanded to include five private hospitals. Al Naimi expressed confidence that the program will significantly enhance the treatment experience for Qatari citizens.

The View Hospital becomes first in Qatar to offer 3D CT Gastric Volume Study for bariatric patients
Tribune News Network Doha The View Hospital, in affiliation with Cedars-Sinai, has become the first hospital in Qatar to offer the 3D CT Gastric Volume Study, an advanced diagnostic imaging service that gives physicians a clearer view of post-surgical anatomy in bariatric patients. The launch of the service marks a milestone not only for the hospital but for the country's evolving landscape of precision medicine. Designed specifically for individuals who have undergone bariatric procedures, the 3D CT Gastric Volume Study delivers highly detailed, three-dimensional images that accurately assess the size and shape of the remaining stomach. The technology helps clinicians detect structural abnormalities, track patient progress, and anticipate potential complications, all with exceptional accuracy and speed. 'For many patients, bariatric surgery is a turning point in their health journey,' said Dr Jassim Fakhro, senior consultant in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and Medical Director of Qatari Physicians at The View Hospital. 'But it doesn't end in the operating room. Ongoing monitoring is key, and with this technology, we can now offer unmatched insight and support as patients work toward a healthier future.' This imaging advancement couldn't come at a more crucial time. As rates of obesity and metabolic disease rise across the region, bariatric surgery has emerged as a powerful tool for intervention. But surgery alone isn't enough - what follows is a complex physiological transition that demands thoughtful, individualized follow-up care. That's where the 3D CT Gastric Volume Study makes its impact. By visualising the internal anatomy in such detail, physicians can make data-driven decisions tailored to each patient's unique post-surgical profile. Whether it's adjusting dietary recommendations, identifying mechanical issues, or flagging early signs of nutritional compromise, this diagnostic innovation offers a more complete picture and a more proactive path forward. Moreover, this technology plays a pivotal role in planning revisional bariatric surgeries, particularly in cases of weight regain or severe GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) after the initial procedure. The precise anatomical data provided by the 3D imaging enables surgeons to better evaluate the structural causes behind such complications and tailor surgical interventions, accordingly, improving outcomes and patient safety. 'At The View Hospital, we are committed to healthcare innovation and advancing academic care,' said Dr Fatih Mehmet Gul, CEO of The View Hospital. 'The launch of Qatar's first 3D CT Gastric Volume Study for bariatric patients reflects our medical expertise and dedication to providing precise, personalized treatment through cutting-edge technologies.' With this latest addition, The View Hospital further strengthens its position as a leader in advanced, patient-centered care. By combining innovative technology with a deep commitment to personalized medicine, the hospital continues to raise the bar for what modern healthcare should look likein Qatar and across the region.
