First IVF, a prominent fertility treatment provider in the United Arab Emirates, has achieved a significant healthcare milestone by securing Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation for both its Dubai and Abu Dhabi facilities. This prestigious recognition represents the global gold standard for patient safety and clinical quality in healthcare institutions worldwide.
The accreditation process involved comprehensive on-site evaluations conducted by international JCI surveyors who meticulously examined all operational aspects. The assessment covered clinical protocols, laboratory processes, infection control measures, patient identification systems, communication pathways, governance structures, and staff competency standards.
Dr. Michael Fakih, Founder and Chairman of First IVF and a recognized pioneer in reproductive medicine, emphasized the significance of this achievement: “This dual accreditation reaffirms our unwavering commitment to delivering safe, ethical, and world-class fertility treatments. Patients seeking reproductive care in the UAE rightfully expect the highest medical standards, and this recognition validates our consistent delivery of such excellence.”
The clinics offer a comprehensive suite of fertility services including in vitro fertilization (IVF), genetic testing, family balancing options, male and female infertility treatments, and fertility preservation through egg and embryo freezing. These services are supported by advanced laboratory facilities and a multidisciplinary team of reproductive specialists.
For prospective patients evaluating fertility clinics in the UAE, the JCI accreditation serves as a significant quality assurance marker, indicating adherence to international best practices with emphasis on safety protocols, personalized treatment approaches, and enhanced patient reassurance throughout the fertility journey.
Dr. Fakih further noted: “Whether patients require IVF procedures, fertility assessments, or preservation services, our objective remains to provide scientifically advanced care within an emotionally supportive environment. This accreditation reinforces our dedication to maintaining leadership in UAE reproductive medicine.”
