Strengthening Cancer Care through NABH-NCG Synergy
The National Cancer Grid (NCG) is a collaborative network of leading cancer centres, academic institutions, and research bodies dedicated to improving the quality and uniformity of cancer care across India. Through this partnership, NABH works alongside NCG to co-develop oncology-specific quality benchmarks for digital health systems, including HIS and EMR platforms. The initiative seeks to modernise cancer centre operations, streamline clinical documentation, and enhance patient outcomes through better use of data.
As oncology evolves into a highly specialised and data-intensive field, it is crucial that digital infrastructure keeps pace with clinical and reporting demands. This collaboration helps cancer centres align their digital systems with NABH’s quality framework—ensuring readiness for accreditation, improved compliance, and a future-ready cancer care network.
