India, Nov. 29 -- Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Andheri West has become the first hospital in India and southern Asia, and only the fifth worldwide, to receive the Joint Commission International's (JCI) Certificate of Distinction in Healthcare Sustainability.

The certificate, launched in January 2025, is a global benchmarking system created by JCI in partnership with the International Hospital Federation's Geneva Sustainability Centre. It recognises hospitals that can demonstrate measurable, verifiable reductions in their environmental impact while maintaining high standards of clinical care. Institutions must show progress across energy use, emissions, materials management, and sustainable clinical practices.
