His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, felicitated Canadian Specialist Hospital CSH, one of the largest private hospitals in Dubai catering to the tertiary healthcare needs of the Middle East, for achieving the prestigious Joint Commission International JCI accreditation, along with the other private and public healthcare facilities who have achieved international accreditations in 2011.

The award was received by Mr. Hussein Anani, Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Shoaib Shahzad Khan, Head of Paediatrics and Ms. Dalal Darabseh, Nursing Director, on behalf of Canadian Specialist Hospital.
