Allopathic Clinics Accreditation Programme
Geared toward outpatient allopathic clinics, this programme provides a quality framework that ensures safe, ethical, and patient-focused care. It evaluates operations such as consultations, diagnostics, pharmacy services, and minor procedures, while ensuring compliance with statutory norms. Accreditation helps clinics streamline processes, reduce clinical risks, and improve service delivery. It also increases eligibility for empanelment and establishes the clinic’s credibility among patients, referring doctors, and insurers.
- Safe and Standardised Care:
This programme confirms that outpatient care is delivered in a well-regulated, safe, and ethical setting by trained and licensed allopathic practitioners. - Minimisation of Clinical Risk:
Accreditation ensures that consultation, diagnostic, and minor procedural practices follow defined safety standards, reducing medical errors and improving accountability. - Professional Reputation:
The accreditation mark serves as a visible quality symbol, enhancing trust among patients, regulators, and peer institutions. - Operational Clarity:
Standard operating procedures help streamline clinic operations—from patient registration to prescriptions—boosting efficiency and service quality.
- Allopathic Clinics that are currently in operation and have implemented NABH standards for at least three months.
- The clinic must commit to comply with NABH standards as well as applicable legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements.
- Exclusions:
- Non-allopathic systems of medicine
- Standalone single-specialty centres such as Ophthalmology, Imaging Centres, and Dental Clinics
All eligible clinics may apply online for accreditation by registering on the NABH website. Please refer to the General Information Brochure on the Allopathic Clinic Accreditation page for detailed instructions.
