End-to-end support for NABH entry-level certification and full accreditation — gap assessment, documentation, training, and assessment readiness.
NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) is India's premier accreditation body for healthcare organizations — a constituent board of the Quality Council of India. NABH accreditation signals to patients, insurers, regulators, and partners that your facility operates at internationally recognized standards of quality and patient safety.
At GICS Consulting, we provide end-to-end NABH consulting — from initial gap assessment and entry-level certification through to full hospital accreditation. Our healthcare specialists understand NABH standards in depth, and we guide you through every requirement, every document, and every assessment.
Whether you run a small clinic, a mid-sized hospital, or a large multi-specialty facility, we help you build systems that meet NABH requirements — and improve patient outcomes along the way.
NABH offers three main pathways. We help you determine the right one and prepare thoroughly for it.
A simplified certification designed as a stepping stone to full accreditation. Mandatory for insurance empanelment in many cases. Available for both small and large hospitals via the HOPE portal.
Designed for Small Healthcare Organizations with 50 beds or fewer. A practical framework focused on patient rights, hygiene, infection control, and governance — making accreditation achievable for smaller facilities.
NABH's flagship program for hospitals with more than 50 sanctioned beds. Extensive standards covering 10 chapters, 45 standards, and 167 objective elements. ISQua-accredited, providing international recognition.
Accreditation is not just a certificate — it transforms how your hospital operates.
Structured protocols for patient identification, medication safety, infection control, and clinical outcomes.
NABH certification is mandatory for cashless insurance facilities — required by IRDA regulations.
Builds trust with patients, referring doctors, corporate clients, and regulators.
Standardized processes reduce errors, waste, and variability in clinical and non-clinical operations.
Clear roles, training, and procedures create a safer, more confident workforce.
ISQua-accredited standards recognized globally — opening doors to international partnerships.
A structured 6-step approach — from first conversation to certificate in hand.
We evaluate your current systems against NABH standards — identifying gaps in documentation, processes, infrastructure, and staffing.
We help you select the right NABH program (Entry Level, SHCO, or HCO) based on bed strength, services, and objectives.
We develop all required manuals, policies, SOPs, forms, and records to meet NABH documentation requirements.
We train your clinical and non-clinical staff on NABH standards, SOPs, patient rights, infection control, and quality programs.
We conduct a full mock NABH assessment — simulating the real assessment and identifying any remaining gaps before the official visit.
We assist with HOPE portal registration, documentation submission, fee payment, and provide on-call support during the official assessment.
