Apex Health, a subsidiary of Estithmar Holding Q.S.P.C. and one of the fastest-growing healthcare providers in the MENA region, has earned five Distinction Awards under the Arab Hospitals Federation’s Gold Initiative Certificate – Star of Excellence in Patient Experience. The awards underscore the organization’s leadership in delivering patient-centered care across the Middle East.
The recognition was announced during a high-profile ceremony attended by regional healthcare leaders, under the patronage of the Arab Hospitals Federation and in collaboration with The Beryl Institute, a global authority on patient experience. A total of 267 healthcare institutions from 10 countries competed for honors across various categories.
Following a rigorous evaluation by a jury panel in collaboration with The Beryl Institute, Apex Health and four of its hospitals, two in Qatar and two in Iraq, were recognized for excellence in safety, quality, innovation, governance, and the patient journey. The awards reflect Apex Health’s strategic commitment to clinical excellence, innovation, and a deeply embedded culture of patient-centered care.
“This is a proud moment for our entire team,” said Joseph Hazel, Group CEO of Apex Health. “Earning five certificates of distinction across Qatar and Iraq is a testament to the dedication of our staff, the trust of our patients, and our vision to redefine healthcare standards across the MENA region. Our achievements are built on strong international partnerships and close collaboration with government stakeholders, enabling us to deliver care that is safe, innovative, and personal.”
Apex Health also received a Recognition Award under the Gold Initiative Certificate, further cementing its role as a regional leader in trusted, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare delivery.
Reinforcing Regional Leadership
The wins come amid the rapid growth of Qatar’s healthcare sector, the surge of private investment and the arrival of internationally renowned medical brands which are reshaping the landscape not only in Qatar, but across the wider Middle East. This shift reflects the region’s transformation from predominantly public provision to a dynamic ecosystem where global affiliations and private providers set new benchmarks for quality and patient care.
The prestigious awards position Apex Health at the forefront of healthcare excellence in the Arab world. With a growing portfolio of state-of-the-art medical facilities and a reputation for operational excellence, the group continues to lead transformative changes in the region’s healthcare landscape.
Apex Health’s portfolio includes 8 hospitals across Qatar, Algeria, Iraq and Libya, in affiliation with reputable medical institutions: Cedars Sinai (USA), Asan Medical Center (South Korea), Seoul AHNKANG Hospital (South Korea) and others.
