As we strive for excellence in healthcare, accreditation has become a benchmark for quality and patient safety. However, for small hospitals, achieving NABH accreditation can be a daunting task.
From limited resources to inadequate infrastructure, small hospitals face numerous challenges in meeting the stringent standards set by NABH. Here are some of the key hurdles:
Limited financial resources: Small hospitals often struggle to allocate sufficient funds for accreditation-related expenses, such as consultant fees, training programs, and infrastructure upgrades.
Inadequate infrastructure: Small hospitals may lack the necessary infrastructure, including advanced medical equipment, to meet NABH standards.
Limited human resources: Small hospitals often have limited staff, making it challenging to dedicate resources to accreditation-related activities.
Lack of awareness and training: Small hospital staff may not have the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the accreditation process.
Despite these challenges, achieving NABH accreditation is crucial for small hospitals to demonstrate their commitment to quality and patient safety.
