Acibadem Healthcare Group is the first medical group in Turkey that has been accredited by the JCI (Joint Commission International) as a group.

As of April 2008, AHG's re-accreditation survey has been completed. JCI accreditation applies to Acibadem Ophthalmology Center along with all the Acibadem hospitals, medical centers and polyclinics. Acibadem Healthcare Group has six hospitals in Istanbul and Turkey and seven medical centers, operates an ophthalmology center and an outpatient clinic. All Acibadem's hospitals and medical centers have JCI accreditation.

AHG works in accordance with Joint Commission International (JCI) Accreditation Standards, which are developed for health sector to strengthen patient focus approach. AHG also uses European Foundation Quality Management (EFQM) Excellence Model to strengthen organizational approach. Because of different interpretation in clinic areas, ISO certification wasn't preferred for all units of AHG. So ISO implementations are used for departmental certifications in Central Sterilization Units and Clinic Laboratories.
