It focuses on entire operations of a hospital from registration, admission, pre-surgery, peri-surgery and post-surgery protocols, discharge from the hospital to follow up with the hospital after discharge. A group of people comes for assessment, and they make sure that all parameters are working efficiently and effectively.

The objective of NABH is to provide accreditation of healthcare facilities, Quality promotions such as nursing excellence, laboratory certification programs, etc., IEC activities, for instance, public lecture, advertisement, workshops, Education and Training for Quality & Patient Safety, and Endorsement of various healthcare quality courses or workshops.
