Chennai, 10th October 2025 : Kauvery Hospital proudly announces that its Alwarpet unit has
achieved the prestigious Joint Commission International (JCI) 8th Edition
Accreditation, following the Vadapalani unit’s accreditation in January 2025.
With this dual recognition, Kauvery joins an exclusive group of hospitals in
India with multiple JCI-accredited centers, reaffirming its role as a trusted
destination for world-class healthcare.
The JCI 8th Edition standards represent the most
rigorous and updated benchmarks in global healthcare. Covering more than one
thousand measurable elements, these standards emphasize:
- Patient
Safety First: Robust infection control practices, stringent medication
management, and strict adherence to surgical safety protocols.
- Clinical
Excellence: Continuous monitoring of treatment outcomes, use of
evidence-based medicine, and integration of multidisciplinary expertise in
patient care.
- Transparency
& Rights: Clear communication with patients and families, respect for
patient rights, and shared decision-making in treatment.
- Emergency
Preparedness: Advanced systems to handle critical care situations,
ensuring patients receive timely, life-saving interventions.
- Continuous
Improvement: Regular staff training, clinical audits, and technology
adoption to constantly enhance care quality.
- Green
Hospital: For Kauvery Hospital, this means that care goes beyond treating
illness — it includes protecting the environment in which patients live
and ensuring healthcare remains safe, reliable, and sustainable for future
generations. By aligning with these global standards, Kauvery demonstrates
its responsibility not only to today’s patients but also to the health of
tomorrow’s communities. Global Health Impact is not just a standard — it
is a promise: to provide world-class care that is safer for patients,
smarter for communities, and kinder to the planet.
Speaking on this achievement, Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj,
Co-Founder & Executive Director of Kauvery Hospital, said:
“This achievement is more than an institutional
milestone — it is a moment of pride for Chennai. Dual JCI accreditation at
Kauvery Alwarpet and Vadapalani reflects our city’s growing stature as a global
healthcare hub.
JCI accreditation ensures globally benchmarked systems
for patient safety, infection control, clinical governance, and continuous
improvement. Every step of care — from admission to discharge — follows
evidence-based protocols that lead to fewer medical errors, faster recovery,
and higher patient satisfaction.
At the same time, efficiency, reduced wastage, and
better coordination help lower the overall cost of care. By doing things right
the first time, we make healthcare both high in quality and affordable. This
accreditation reassures our patients that they are receiving care aligned with
the world’s best standards.”
For the community, this accreditation translates into
safer surgeries, lower infection risks, accurate diagnostics, and improved
treatment outcomes. It also assures international patients that Chennai, long
recognized as the healthcare capital of Asia, continues to uphold and exceed
global standards of care.
With two JCI-accredited units, Kauvery Hospital sets a
benchmark in clinical excellence and patient safety, reinforcing Chennai’s
reputation as a trusted healthcare destination for both local and global
communities.
With advanced technology, specialized expertise across
disciplines, and a compassionate care model, Kauvery Hospital is redefining
excellence in Chennai’s healthcare ecosystem. This dual accreditation is a
powerful affirmation of the city’s reputation as a preferred destination for
medical travelers and a trusted choice for local communities.
