Digital Health Certification Programme
This 2-years validity programme is designed for healthcare facilities looking to start on the digital maturity roadmap. It helps organisations implement secure, efficient, and patient-focused IT systems, ranging from HIS, cybersecurity, telemedicine, patient data privacy, and digital consent.

Certification reassures stakeholders of the facility’s commitment to using technology responsibly to improve care delivery and patient outcomes.

With structured digital workflows and better EMR adoption, clinicians are empowered to make quicker, safer, and data-driven decisions at every stage of patient care. - Cybersecurity and Resilience:
Dedicated chapters on digital infrastructure and operations help institutions build robust systems, protect sensitive data, and maintain business continuity. - Alignment with National Health Missions:
The programme supports national priorities such as ABDM, Digital India, and DPDP by promoting safe, standardised, and interoperable digital healthcare systems. - Staff Awareness and Adoption:
By encouraging involvement of clinical staff in digital transitions, the certification drives greater adoption of EMRs and promotes a tech-enabled care culture. - Institutional Credibility and Trust:
