In a major step towards enhancing public healthcare services, Primary Health Centre (PHC) CHATROO, the first of its kind in the district, KISHTWAR is undergoing preparation for the prestigious National Quality Assurance Standard (NQAS) certification. This initiative marks a significant milestone for the district, as the PHC aims to set a new benchmark for quality and patient-centric care.
The NQAS program, a comprehensive framework established by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, is designed to ensure that public health facilities provide services that are safe, effective, and of assured quality. The certification process involves a rigorous assessment across various “Areas of Concern,” including Service Provision, Patient Rights, Inputs, Support Services, Clinical Care, Infection Control, Quality Management, and Outcome.
The dedicated team at PHC CHATROO is working tirelessly to meet the high standards required for certification. This preparation not only involves improving infrastructure and services but also focuses on instilling a culture of continuous quality improvement among the staff. By aligning with NQAS guidelines, PHC CHATROO is committed to providing its community with a healthcare experience that is on par with national benchmarks.
The successful certification of PHC CHATROO will not only bring recognition to the health center but also boost public trust in the public health system of the district. It will serve as a model for other health facilities in the region, encouraging a wider adoption of quality assurance practices and ultimately leading to a healthier community.
