Amana Healthcare has received a three-year accreditation from the US-based Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for its highly specialized Amputee Rehabilitation Program.
The sought-after CARF accreditation requires the strictest levels of accountability and adherence to internationally accepted standards within the health and human services fields. Following the rigorous audit of Amana Healthcare’s inpatient rehabilitation facility, programs, and services, CARF awarded the health provider with a three-year specialty accreditation for its Amputee Rehabilitation Program. Accreditation by CARF assures patients that the organization has undergone extensive auditing and inspection to ensure that its services are the best-in-class.
With the new specialty accreditation, Amana Healthcare, which was the first in the UAE to receive accreditation in Comprehensive Intensive Inpatient Rehabilitation from CARF in 2016, and the first provider in the country to be specifically accredited in rehabilitation after stroke in 2019, is now, uniquely, the first provider in the UAE to receive a three-year CARF accreditation for amputee rehabilitation. This fulfills a key part of its mandate to provide residents with healthcare of the highest international standards.
In addition to CARF’s accreditation for amputee rehabilitation services, Amana Healthcare also earned a three-year reaccreditation for Comprehensive Intensive Inpatient Rehabilitation, and a three-year reaccreditation for its Stroke Rehabilitation Program.
Dr Jason Gray, Senior Director, Amana Healthcare, said: “We are incredibly proud to have been awarded the three-year Amputee Rehabilitation accreditation by CARF International, one of the world’s leading independent, nonprofit accrediting bodies. At Amana Healthcare, our specialized inpatient rehabilitation facility caters to patients who require intensive rehabilitation after a life-changing event, such as an amputation, and other neurological conditions. We offer our patients access to a wide range of multidisciplinary specialists who collaborate closely to provide holistic care as part of our Amputee Rehabilitation program. Amana Healthcare strives to empower patients throughout their recovery journey so that they can return to normal and continue leading happy and fulfilling lives. This CARF accreditation reinforces the trust we have earned from our patients and the larger community and recognizes the hard work and dedication of our specialists and caregivers.”
Dr Gray added, “This accreditation also underpins the UAE’s vision to ensure that the community receives world-class specialized comprehensive healthcare services locally, without having to seek treatment abroad.”
