AYUSH Certification Programme

AYUSH Hospital/Centre Certification Programme

As small scale AYUSH Hospitals and day care centres find it difficult to implement all the accreditation standards, NABH has developed Entry Level AYUSH Hospital standards incorporating inputs from experts, stakeholders, NABH’s technical committee and peer review. There is a single standard compiled for all specializations in AYUSH, one made for hospitals with in-patient service (5 or more beds) and one for day care i.e AYUSH Centre/clinic. These are in natural alignment to the Hospital Standards, with a community focus.
