Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], October 10: 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.
