Q B.M.Birla Heart Research
Centre has come a
long way providing quality
treatment, how do you ensure
that the hospital maintains its
quality care?
A Hospital and Healthcare - NABH reaccreditation. In 2006 we
were the first Hospital in India to receive NABH accreditation.
In India, 327 hospitals have applied for NABH and only 39
hospitals have been given the NABH accreditation. It is to be
noted here that ISQUA an international body grants approval
to Accreditation Bodies in the area of healthcare as mark of
equivalence of accreditation program of member countries.
The approval of ISQua authenticates that NABH standards
are in consonance with the global benchmarks set by ISQua.
So far hospital standards of only 11 countries have received
ISQua Accreditation. Hospitals in India of NABH Standard are
equivalent to hospitals providing healthcare to patients in
Australia, Canada, Japan and United Kingdom.On Pathology
department we were the first hospital in India to also
received NABL accreditation and CAP (College of American
Pathology). So you can say that we ensure quality care not
by self claimant but through proper evaluation process by
external authorities.
