The accreditation recognises and acknowledges the impact of the Nursing Education Services Team’s course instructors (nurses and physicians) and Centre for Innovation in Medical Education (CIME) Team for their extensive collaboration and great efforts in achieving this milestone.
Lauding the performance of everyone involved in the reaccreditation process, AKUH’s Chief Nursing Officer Khairunnissa Hooda said, “The reaccreditation is a testament to our commitment to training our nurses and physicians with the latest Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation procedures and techniques, and making sure our nursing staff is equipped with these basic life-saving skills to serve our patients better during their time of need.”
