Ahalia Foundation Eye Hospital Gets JCI

It is the first eye hospital in Kerala to receive this accreditation

Ahalia Foundation Eye Hospital (AFEH), the largest eye hospital in Kerala, has always been a pioneer in bringing quality healthcare to the people of Kerala. Now it has added one more feather to its cap-accreditation by the prestigious Joint Commission International, USA. JCI accreditation is the ultimate recognition in the field of healthcare and is awarded after an elaborate quality audit conducted by a team of international healthcare experts. What makes it even more worthwhile is the fact that AFEH is the first hospital in Kerala and the only eye hospital in the whole of South India to achieve this.

With this recognition, Ahalia is proud to herald the arrival of international standard healthcare to Kerala with special focus on quality improvement, patient safety and infection control. This clearly reinforces its mission of 'providing quality healthcare of the highest possible standards to people from all walks of life'.

AFEH has the expertise in all the areas of ophthalmology including advanced Phaco surgery for cataract, latest Lasik treatment for refractive errors and specialty services for Retina, Glaucoma, Pediatric Ophthalmology, Low Vision Aids etc- all this at affordable rates.

AFEH is a part of Ahalia Health, Heritage and Knowledge Village, an integrated campus hosting an Ayurvedic Hospital, Heritage Centre, Children's Village and Public School, located at the foot of Western Ghats in Palakkad amidst mountains, breathtaking valleys, herbal gardens and natural rain water harvesting bodies. It is a part of the Ahalia group, which is a renowned name in healthcare in the Middle East for over twenty five years. As part of its commitment to bring quality healthcare closer to the people, Ahalia has opened up centres in Thrissur, Irinjalakuda, Chavakkad, Pollachi and Ernakulam with many more on the way. Also in the anvil are Kerala's largest women and children hospital and Kerala's only full-fledged diabetes hospital.

Ahalia Health, Heritage and Knowledge Village with its lush green eco friendly ambience also provides the perfect hideout for a private vacation along with super-specialty health care facilities.
