Accredited Hospitals in India
The National Accreditation Board for Hospital and Health care Providers (NABH) is a constituent board of Quality Council of India for designing quality parameters in the health care sector.
There has been a very poor response to its accreditation programme. Only seven hospitals out of the estimated 15,000 medical facilities NABH was targeting, have received accreditation in the last one and a half years.
None of the estimated 2,000 government hospitals has even applied for the accreditation programme.
The Board had prescribed a set of 10 quality parameters to be met by the medical facility. These include access, assessment and continuity of care; patient rights and education; hospital infection control; and responsibility of management.
The majority of private hospitals accredited by NABH receive a significant share of these foreign patients.
