NABH Accredited Dental Clinic

What is NABH Accreditation?

The NABH or National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers was set up in 2006 to establish an accreditation programme for the healthcare organizations and operate them. It is a constituent board of the Quality Council of India or QCI. The board is supported by the consumers, the industry as well as the government. It also enjoys full functional autonomy in its operations.

The NABH accreditation is a public recognition of a healthcare organization which would be demonstrated through an independent external peer assessment of the performance level of the organization in relation to the standards.

NABH Accreditation would mean the following:

A proper establishment of protocols and policies as laid down by the National or International Standards for patient care. Clinical outcomes, patient safety, medication management, medical records, staffing, consent process and infection control are also included.
