Ahmedabad, April 29: In a bid to provide quality healthcare services about 475 hospitals, including government ones, across the country are gearing up to adopt NABH accreditation, a top medical official said here today.
“Around 85 hospitals have got NABH accreditation so far and about 475 more across the nation are going through various processes to obtain the accreditation,” Quality Council of India Secretary General and CEO NABH Giridhar J Gyani told newsmen.
National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH), a constituent board of QCI, promotes best practices in the healthcare sector, through its accreditation programme. It was launched six years ago.
The NABH standards provide a framework for quality assurance and improvement, while focusing on patient safety and quality of care. The standards are in consonance with the framework specified by International Society for Quality in Healthcare Inc (ISQua).
