The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) is India’s apex body for setting benchmarks in healthcare quality and patient safety. It operates under the Quality Council of India (QCI) and plays a vital role in shaping a safer, more accountable healthcare system. With over 25,000 healthcare facilities accredited or certified—including hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and traditional medicine centres—NABH helps healthcare providers adopt internationally recognised best practices. Its accreditation is widely regarded as a mark of trust, ensuring that care is patient-focused, ethically delivered, and of consistently high quality.

NABH accreditation and certification programmes are open to all types of healthcare organisations, regardless of their size, ownership, or location. This includes large tertiary hospitals, smaller healthcare organisations, eye care organisations, standalone clinics, diagnostic laboratories, Ayush hospitals, emergency departments, digital health facilities, and even software vendors offering health IT solutions like HIS/EMR systems. Whether you’re a single-doctor clinic or a multi-speciality hospital, there is a tailored NABH programme designed to meet your quality improvement needs.

No, NABH accreditation is voluntary. However, a growing number of healthcare institutions are pursuing it as a way to demonstrate their commitment to quality and patient safety. Accredited facilities are often preferred for government empanelment, insurance tie-ups, and medical tourism opportunities. In addition to enhancing credibility, NABH accreditation helps organisations streamline their operations, and stand out as hallmark of quality in an increasingly competitive healthcare environment.

The process of applying for NABH accreditation is structured and transparent. Healthcare organisations begin by selecting the relevant programme based on their facility type and size. They then prepare for assessment by reviewing the applicable NABH standards, implementing required protocols, and submitting their application and documentation through the online portal. The process also includes a self-assessment and an onsite evaluation by NABH-trained assessors. Throughout the journey, NABH offers support in the form of training programmes, manuals, and guidance materials to help facilities meet the necessary criteria.

NABH is unique in that it is tailored to the Indian healthcare system while being aligned with global best practices. NABH is an accreditation body recognised by ISQua, the International Society for Quality in Health Care. This global recognition means that NABH-accredited institutions meet international standards of patient safety and quality management, while also ensuring that local challenges and contexts are fully understood. NABH’s wide range of sector-specific programmes, robust assessor network, and commitment to transparency make it a preferred partner in quality assurance.
