Key Highlights:
The certification process evaluated the centre’s commitment to quality, safety, and value, as well as its use of advanced imaging, presence of dedicated heart-failure staff, provision of 24/7 specialized treatments, and active participation in research trials.
This milestone echoes the vision of the recent JCS Conference in Amman (October 2025), where Jordan launched the first unified Arab and national Heart Failure Protocols in partnership with the AHA and ESC.
Both milestones emphasize a shared international vision:
1. Advancing evidence-based, patient-centered care in heart failure.
2. Promoting round-the-clock specialized treatment models led by trained multidisciplinary teams.
3. Establishing Centers of Excellence that meet global accreditation standards and improve outcomes across regions.
Together, these initiatives demonstrate that the future of heart failure care is global, standardized, and collaborative—from Mexico City to Amman.
