The National Urban Health Mission – (NUHM)
NQAS is a national certification program launched by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare in 2015 to recognize and reward public health facilities that deliver high-quality, safe, and patient-centered care. Facilities are assessed against defined quality standards covering infrastructure, processes, and outcomes — those scoring 70% or above earn national or state certification, along with financial incentives, as a mark of excellence and trust for the community they serve.
