Quality assured Ayush system: Bridging traditional wisdom with modern National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Health-care Providers (NABH) standards

Ensuring patient safety, treatment effectiveness, and overall excellence in Ayush healthcare all depend heavily on providing high-quality healthcare. Quality interventions, driven by evidence-based practices and robust systems, play a pivotal role in enhancing the best standard of care. Accreditation serves as a benchmark for the standards of patient safety in Ayush, contributing to the credibility and reliability of these ancient healing methods. National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Health-care Providers (NABH) has the mandate and remains committed to ensure and promote health and well-being for all at all ages (Sustainable Development Goal-3-Target 2030), creating and building a culture and an ecosystem of quality in the health-care industry taking Quality, Safety, and Wellness to the last in the line. NABH has independent standards for Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy. NABH developed and released the first edition of six accreditation standards extensively for Ayurveda facilities, Panchakarma clinics, Yoga and naturopathy Centers, Unani Hospitals, Siddha Hospitals, and Homeopathy Hospitals in the year 2009. NABH accreditation and certification of Ayush facilities not only ensures adherence to modern healthcare standards but also facilitates the integration of Ayush with mainstream healthcare, contributing to a more comprehensive and patient-centric approach to wellness. As NABH extends its embrace to the diverse realm of Ayush, it sets the stage for a health-care future that cherishes the best of both worlds.
