India crosses a historic milestone 50,000 NQAS Certifications: A Quantum Leap in Quality in Public Healthcare

• NQAS (National Quality Assurance Standards) is the MoHFW's flagship quality-accreditation framework for public health facilities, covering safety, clinical care, infection control, and patient rights.
• India crossed 50,373 NQAS-certified facilities by 31 December 2025, up from 10 in 2015 — a benchmark for Universal Health Coverage and Ayushman Bharat delivery quality.
• Why care: directly tests GS-II (Health/Governance) and connects with SDG-3, NHM, and Ayushman Arogya Mandirs.
