Aravind Eye Care

Introduction:

LAICO’s collaborative approach aims to collectively work with eye hospitals and facilitate the process of planning and readiness for the attainment of “Entry level Accreditation”

NABH was set up in India to establish and operate accreditation programme for healthcare organizations to enhance the healthcare delivery system and promote continuous quality improvement and patient safety. Currently, only about 700-odd of the total estimated 60,000 hospitals are NABH accredited. Hundreds of hospitals are making an effort to bring them up to the level expected by NABH.
