Healthcare accreditations in India - NABH - A pursuit of excellence

Accreditation is the most important approach for raising the caliber of any healthcare organization. It serves as a motivation factor and guiding force to drive these organizations to adhere to the standardized procedures in order to ensure patient safety and quality through the establishment of systems and protocols that foster a culture that is safe and patient-centric. Though there are many benefits of accreditation, patients are the biggest beneficiary among all the stakeholders. National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) was established to operate accreditation programmes for hospitals and health care organizations with the objective of enhancing health system and promoting continuous quality improvement and patient safety. NABH has the mandate and remains committed to ensuring healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages (SDG-3-Target 2030), creating a culture and an ecosystem of quality in healthcare taking Quality, Safety and Wellness to the last in the line.
