Faridabad, India — Amrita Hospital has become the first hospital in the world to receive the Clinical Excellence Certification (CEC) in Oncology from the American Accreditation Commission International (AACI). This international recognition confirms that Amrita delivers high-quality, patient-focused cancer care.
What Is the Clinical Excellence Certification?
The CEC is a special certification that checks how well hospitals care for cancer patients. It looks at how safe the care is, how well different doctors work together, and whether treatments follow the best medical guidelines.
Amrita Hospital passed all parts of this test with outstanding results. This means the hospital offers one of the safest and most advanced cancer care systems in the world.
Why This Matters for India
India sees over 1.4 million new cancer cases every year. Sadly, many hospitals do not follow the same rules or safety systems. As a result, cancer treatment can vary from one place to another.
Now, with this new certification, Amrita shows what high-quality care should look like. Other hospitals can now follow this proven model.
Key Features of Amrita’s Cancer Program
Amrita Hospital earned the certification by showing true commitment to quality and safety. Here are some key features that helped them stand out:
- Zero-error policy to reduce medical mistakes
- Teamwork between specialists like surgeons, radiologists, and oncologists
- Clear communication with patients about treatment options
- Use of international best practices from doctors in 22+ countries
- Modern technology, including AI and smart ICUs
A Hospital Built for the Future
Amrita Hospital in Faridabad opened in August 2022. It is now the largest private hospital in Asia, with:
- Over 2,600 beds
- 81 medical specialties
- Smart intensive care units
- A rooftop helipad for emergencies
- A strong focus on teaching and research
This makes it a perfect match for international-level certification.
What AACI Says About This Milestone
“Amrita Hospital has raised the bar for cancer care around the world,” said Dheeraj Khatore, CEO & VP – AACI for India & Africa and Board of Director – AACI USA . “Their teamwork, patient focus, and use of global standards is something every hospital should aim for.”
“We created the Clinical Excellence Certification to help hospitals reach world-class care. Amrita is the first, but many more will follow,” added Shelle S. Rogers, Chief Global Market Officer at AACI.
What’s Next for AACI and Oncology Care
Amrita is the first, but not the last. AACI is now offering this certification in other parts of the world — including South East Asia, Europe, Brazil, and across India.
This means more hospitals can join a global system of trust, quality, and safe cancer care.
