NABH Accreditation
NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) is an organization in India that sets standards for quality healthcare services in various healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes.

They may also provide training to staff on NABH standards and help to develop policies and procedures that align with the NABH requirements.
