Mahmoud Hanafy, Blood Bank Director at Hayat National Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn։
“I am truly proud to celebrate a remarkable milestone for Hayat National Hospitals: the successful achievement of AABB International Accreditation for our Blood Banks across six hospital branches – Riyadh, Khamis Mushait, Abha, Madinah, Jazan, and Qassim.
This is more than an accreditation achievement. It is a story of excellence, teamwork, commitment, and perseverance, with the true heroes being the outstanding Laboratory and Blood Bank teams across Hayat National Hospitals.
Achieving AABB accreditation across six branches during the same accreditation cycle and at the same time is a significant accomplishment and reflects our collective commitment to implementing and sustaining internationally recognized standards of quality, patient safety, and transfusion medicine.
My sincere appreciation and gratitude goes to:
- Dr. Fawzia Al-Jalalah, Chief Executive Officer of Hayat National Hospitals Group, for her continuous support, encouragement, and unwavering belief in the efforts of our Laboratory and Blood Bank teams. Her leadership and commitment to quality have been instrumental in driving our journey toward excellence.
- Dr. Waleed Albuali, Group Chief Medical Officer for his continous support and appreciation.
- My sincere thanks also go to Dr. Hussein Riyadh, Group Chief of Strategy and Governance, for his continued support and contribution to strengthening our quality and governance journey.
I would also like to extend my deepest appreciation to all Laboratory Directors and every member of our Laboratory and Blood Bank teams whose dedication, professionalism, teamwork, and commitment made this achievement possible.
Special appreciation goes to the Executive Directors, Medical Directors, and Operations Directors of all six accredited branches for their tremendous support and for creating an environment that enables quality, compliance, and patient safety to remain at the heart of our operations.
This achievement reflects the collective commitment of Hayat National Hospitals to implementing international quality standards and continuously improving the safety and quality of services provided to our patients.
As the Director of Laboratory and Blood Bank Services at Hayat National Hospitals, I am immensely proud of what our teams have achieved together.
Six branches. One vision. One team. One commitment to excellence.
This is not the end of the journey — it is another important step toward building a stronger, more integrated, and internationally recognized Laboratory and Blood Bank service across Hayat National Hospitals.
Congratulations to every member of the Hayat National Hospitals Laboratory & Blood Bank family on this outstanding achievement.
Proud of our people. Proud of our teams. Proud of Hayat National Hospitals.”
