Fakeeh University Hospital has officially achieved accreditation as a Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) facility — a globally recognised standard that reflects our unwavering commitment to providing safe, evidence-based, compassionate, and family-centred care for mothers, babies, and families from the very first moments of life.
The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is a global programme launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF to recognise hospitals and birthing centres that offer an optimal level of care for infant feeding and mother-baby bonding.
Achieving BFHI accreditation means a hospital has met rigorous international standards across maternal care, breastfeeding support, skin-to-skin practice, rooming-in, and evidence-based newborn care — placing the needs of mothers and babies at the very centre of every decision.
Becoming a BFHI-accredited hospital is more than an achievement. It is a promise — to every mother, every baby, and every family who trusts us with the most precious moments of their lives.
This milestone belongs to every member of our extraordinary maternal and newborn care team — our nurses, midwives, lactation consultants, educators, physicians, and support staff who show up every day with dedication, compassion, and a commitment to excellence that never wavers.
Together, we continue building a culture of compassion, education, empowerment, and person-centred care — one family at a time.
If you are expecting or planning your birth journey — we invite you to experience the difference that truly family-centred, internationally accredited maternity care makes.
