The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) is a pivotal entity in India, operating as a constituent board of Quality Council of India. Established with the mandate to set and maintain accreditation and quality standards healthcare organisations, including hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and other healthcare facilities, NABH plays a crucial role in shaping the healthcare landscape in the country.

The fundamental objective of NABH accreditation is to ensure that healthcare providers adhere to predetermined benchmarks of quality and patient safety. Hospitals that successfully attain NABH accreditation are distinguished for their commitment to delivering high-quality care, maintaining safety standards, and implementing best practices in healthcare management.

The accreditation process involves a meticulous evaluation of various facets of a healthcare facility, encompassing patient care, infrastructure, staff qualifications, safety protocols, and operational processes. Hospitals are assessed on several parameters; the standards being divided between patient-centric standards and organisation-centric standards. To comply with these standards, a hospital needs to have a process-driven approach in all aspects of hospital activities – from registration, admission, pre-surgery and post-surgery protocols, discharge from the hospital to follow-up with the hospital after discharge. The governance aspects are also expected to be based on clear and transparent policies and protocols.

Attaining NABH accreditation is a prestigious achievement, signifying that a healthcare facility meets the highest standards of quality and safety. NABH accreditation is considered at par with most of the world’s leading hospital accreditations. Notably, less than 2% of hospitals in India boast this accreditation, underscoring its exclusivity and the rigorous standards it demands.

With the grace of Param Krupalu Dev and inspiration of Pujya Gurudevshri, Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital and Research Centre has achieved NABH accreditation within a year of its inception. This accomplishment stands as a monumental milestone, highlighting its unwavering commitment to excellence in healthcare delivery. This achievement exemplifies its transformative impact on rural healthcare and commitment to Patient Care First as the primary goal.
