Naharlagun, Nov 14:  The Tomo Riba Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (TRIHMS), Naharlagun, in collaboration with the Quality Council of India (QCI), organised a two-day hybrid-mode awareness programme on the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) and the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) under the Gunvatta Yatra initiative.
Gunvatta Yatra is a nationwide initiative aimed at raising awareness, building supportive quality ecosystems and fostering a culture of quality, particularly in underserved regions, including Tier-II and Tier-III cities. The initiative seeks to promote quality consciousness across sectors and contribute towards the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
The Quality Council of India, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, promotes quality standards across various sectors. Through NABH, it encourages healthcare institutions to adopt standards for quality patient care and safety, while NABL provides a framework for the accreditation of testing, calibration and medical laboratories, proficiency testing providers and reference material producers.
The programme sensitised healthcare professionals, hospital administrators and laboratory personnel on national quality standards, accreditation processes, patient safety, infection prevention and control, and quality management systems. QCI experts highlighted the importance of accreditation in ensuring safe, reliable and patient-centric healthcare services.
The initiative reflects the commitment of the State Government towards strengthening quality assurance across the healthcare ecosystem of Arunachal Pradesh. As the State's premier tertiary healthcare institution, TRIHMS seeks to play a catalytic role in facilitating capacity-building and encouraging the adoption of standardised quality practices across hospitals, healthcare facilities and diagnostic laboratories in the State.
Participants from Ramakrishna Mission Hospital, The Osler MediClinic, The August Women's Clinic and IVF Centre, Puna Rinyo Foundation Nursing Home, Ziro, Arunachal Christian Hospital, District Public Health Laboratories under IDSP, and faculty members and staff of TRIHMS attended the programme.
The initiative marks an important step towards fostering a culture of quality, accountability and continuous improvement, with the ultimate objective of ensuring safer, more reliable and quality-assured healthcare services for the people of Arunachal Pradesh.
