History
Sheikh Khalifa Medical City was created in 2005 as a result of the merger of all publicly held healthcare organizations in Abu Dhabi island. The merged entities were:
The new healthcare conglomerate adopted the brand of the newest facility, “Sheikh Khalifa Medical Center”, and changed the name from Center to City, to reflect the true nature of the new organization. Following the merger, SKMC underwent a series of transformational events to strengthen the merger.
In 2007, SKMC came under the management of Cleveland Clinic, which is heralded as one of the top hospitals in the United States, according to U.S. News and World Report. The following year, SKMC received Joint Commission International accreditation for its Main Hospital (Surgical and Medical Pavilions), Outpatient Specialty Clinics, Khalidiya Urgent Care Center and Abu Dhabi Blood Bank. Other SKMC facilities are aiming for JCI accreditation in the next few years.
In 2009, SKMC changed its logo to reflect the relationship between SKMC and Cleveland Clinic. Later that year, SKMC was awarded recognition as a Cycle III Chest Pain Center, the first outside the United States and only the 12th worldwide. Recently, SKMC received accreditation as a Cycle IV Chest Pain Center - one of only a handful of institutions globally to receive such an accolade.
