Mediclinic Parkview Hospital Achieves Prestigious BFHI Accreditation
Mediclinic Parkview Hospital, a leading private maternity facility in Dubai, has earned the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) accreditation. This globally respected recognition, established by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and UNICEF, highlights the hospital's commitment to supporting breastfeeding mothers and offering exceptional care for newborns and their families.
Building on its reputation for high-quality maternity services, Mediclinic Parkview Hospital excels in providing specialized care, particularly for high-risk pregnancies and neonatal care. The hospital's expert team of obstetricians and neonatologists ensures advanced care for complex pregnancies and premature births. Recently, its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) was recognized by the Vermont Oxford Network for its world-class capabilities, ensuring the most vulnerable newborns receive exceptional care.
This achievement aligns Mediclinic Parkview Hospital with its sister facility, Mediclinic City Hospital, the first private hospital in Dubai to obtain BFHI accreditation. Together, these hospitals reinforce Mediclinic Middle East's commitment to maternal care, positioning the healthcare provider as a leader in the UAE's baby-friendly initiatives.
The BFHI accreditation is awarded to hospitals meeting rigorous, evidence-based criteria promoting breastfeeding and optimal newborn care. Mediclinic Parkview Hospital’s recognition reflects its dedication to staff training, lactation support, and a family-centered approach to care.
"We are honored to receive the BFHI accreditation at Mediclinic Parkview Hospital," said David Jelley, hospital director. "This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our maternity team, ensuring mothers and newborns get the best start to their journey together. With our specialized care for high-risk pregnancies and our world-class NICU, we proudly offer holistic maternity services families can trust."
