The NABH accreditation programme sets standards for healthcare facilities in India, including nursing care services, to ensure that they meet the highest quality and safety standards.
These standards are based on international best practices and are designed to improve patient safety and the quality of care in hospitals. The NABH nursing excellence standards establish comprehensive guidelines for assessing the nursing services offered by healthcare organisations.
The certification, encompassing seven key chapters, establishes comprehensive standards for evaluating nursing services and promoting continuous quality enhancement in safe, competent, and ethical care.
After a rigorous inspection process to validate 48 quality standards involving 216 different objective elements, Supercare Hospital was granted the Nursing Excellence Certification on June 13, 2023 which is valid till June 12, 2025.
Adding to its growing list of accolades, Supercare Hospital is also the only hospital in the northeast with NABH Accreditation for Hospital, NABH Certification for Emergency, and NABH Nursing Excellence alltogether.
