In the city, only 14 50-bedded hospitals are NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) accredited. For Safe-I NABH infection control program, more than 50 hospitals have already shown their interest and have submitted their applications. Some of them are Bombay Hospital and Research centre, Breach Candy Hospital, Holy Family Hospital and Sanjeevani Surgical and general Hospital.
Dr Gayatri Mahindroo, director, NABH on the certification launch said, "NABH accreditation is becoming integral to any hospital who wants to offer quality-of-care standards. An effective infection control program like the NABH- Safe-ITSM is the stepping stone towards NABH accreditation for those hospitals that have not yet started their journey towards accreditation. Our association with Becton Dickinson India, a medical technology company, for this program will enable us to provide on- and off-site technical support to collaborating institutions for upgrading their infection control practices."
NABH began the NABH-Safe-ITSM in partnership with BD two years ago as the standard for improving patient safety by prevention of infection within the premises of healthcare organizations. Under this program, NABH recommends safe injection and infusion practices, biomedical waste management, healthcare workers safety and sterilization and disinfection, to name a few.
Dr Abhay Chowdhary, director Haffkine Research Institute, said, "NABH Safe- ITSM certification comes in at the right time when the state is taking efforts to reduce infections and healthcare costs burden for patients and thereby reducing morbidity rates. Such collaborative programs help achieve better patient care for the long term."
NABH and BD had entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2012 to support hospitals in attaining quality-of-care standards for infection control. In last 18 months, 50 hospitals across Kerala and Punjab have been certified with NABH Safe-I accreditation successfully.
