The accreditations and certifications obtained by Centro Médico ABC allow it to continuously review its procedures, processes, and quality standards, upholding its commitment to patient safety.
Driven by constant investment in the continuous improvement of its hospital processes for the patient’s benefit, Centro Médico ABC has held accreditation from Joint Commission International (JCI) for 16 consecutive years. JCI is the benchmark accrediting body for healthcare quality and clinical processes. ABC is the only hospital in Mexico with this certification validating its emergency protocol for stroke (cerebral infarction). This means patients presenting to the emergency department with a stroke are treated in less than 45 minutes by a multidisciplinary team to maximize their chances of recovery.
In January 2024, the Magnet Recognition Program® of the American Nurses Credentialing Center awarded Centro Médico ABC the distinction for excellence in nursing care.

Currently, Centro Médico ABC is the only hospital in Mexico, and one of only four in Latin America, to hold ISRS (International Society for Stereotactic Radiosurgery) certification. This recognition highlights its leadership in intracranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), backed by more than 10 years of experience in high-precision treatments for brain tumors as well as benign or functional conditions.

Meanwhile, the Cardiovascular Center at the Observatorio Campus offers quality in its processes, medical staff, technicians, nursing team, and facilities to treat patients with heart and circulatory diseases.

Furthermore, the ABC-Kardias Pediatric Heart Center, which has performed over 1,000 heart surgeries on newborns to treat congenital conditions, has significantly contributed to the hospital’s reputation in this specialty.
