MANAMA: American Mission Hospital (AMH) has received two honours in the Business Worldwide Magazine (BWM) 2020 GCC Business Excellence Awards.
The hospital has achieved first place in two awards categories; Best Private Non-profit Healthcare Provider - GCC and Business Leadership and Outstanding Contribution to Healthcare - GCC, which was won by group chief executive Julia Maria Tovey.
The GCC Business Excellence awards honour both organisations and individuals behind innovations and inspirations driving increased growth and development to their sector.
The hospital’s mission has always been to provide high quality healthcare at an affordable cost, to everyone who needs it, and it was the first hospital in Bahrain to be accredited by the Australian Council of International Hospital Standards in 2006.
Patients can now access appointments and medical information through a smartphone app.
Ms Tovey has worked at some of the biggest and most respected hospitals in England, America and the Middle East, in a career spanning over 30 years.
She is the first female group CEO in the hospital’s 120-year history.
Explaining her leadership approach to BWM, Ms Tovey said, “My philosophy is simple – put people before profits. If we look after our employees they in turn will give their best to ensure a positive patient experience.”
