"Patients may not always remember our names, but they always remember the 'nurse' who was there to hold their hand, share a tear, give them a hug or smile and kind word, celebrate their progress, or explain something they didn't understand," said Safa Al Mustafa, Deputy Chief Nursing Officer, SKMC.
Dr. Abdulmajeed Al Zubaidi, Chief Medical Officer at the hospital, said: "We are proud of the accomplishments that our nursing team has made in positive changes that promote safe, quality, evidence-based, and patient-centred care. Winning the Press Ganey NDNQI Nursing Quality Award, and being the only facility outside of the USA to achieve this, is a great accomplishment, together with the attainment of the Dubai Quality Award."
