Eye Health
Choosing the right eye hospital is one of the most important healthcare decisions a patient can make. With hundreds of clinics and centres offering eye care, how can patients know which hospital truly follows the highest standards of safety, hygiene, ethics, and treatment quality?
This is where NABH Accreditation becomes the gold standard.
Dr. Anushka’s Super Speciality Eye Hospital, Bhiwandi, is proud to be NABH-accredited, making us the first eye hospital in Bhiwandi to receive this recognition. This accreditation isn’t just a certificate—it is a complete system of quality, transparency, and patient safety built into our daily operations.
This blog explains what NABH is, why it matters, and how it improves patient care.
What is NABH?
NABH stands for National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers, a constituent board of the Quality Council of India.
NABH sets strict healthcare standards covering:
- Patient rights
- Cleanliness & infection control
- Trained staff
- Emergency preparedness
- Safe surgeries
- Transparent charges
- Ethical care
Hospitals must pass an in-depth inspection to receive accreditation.
Why NABH Accreditation Matters in Eye Care
Eye surgeries such as cataract, retina, cornea transplant, and glaucoma procedures require extreme precision. Even minor lapses in hygiene or protocol can affect visual outcomes.
NABH ensures:
- Safe surgeries
- Standardized protocols
- Zero compromise on infection control
- Legally compliant processes
- Ethical and transparent treatment
For patients, it means trust.
How NABH Improves Patient Safety and Experience
1. Standardized Clinical Protocols
NABH ensures every patient receives treatment based on internationally accepted clinical guidelines.
Examples:
- Pre-operative checklists
- Sterilization cycles
- Safe medication processes
- Post-op monitoring standards
This reduces human error and increases success rates.
2. Infection Control at the Highest Level
Eye surgeries require absolute cleanliness.
NABH mandates:
- Class-specific operation theatre standards
- Air quality monitoring
- Sterile instrument handling
- Microbial surveillance
- Protocols for cleaning of surfaces, linens, equipment
This drastically reduces the risk of post-operative infections.
3. Well-Trained & Competent Staff
Every optometrist, nurse, assistant, and doctor must undergo:
- Regular skill assessments
- Mandatory training sessions
- Upgradation of protocols
- Emergency handling drills
This ensures that every member of the team is competent and updated.
4. Transparency in Billing and Treatment
NABH focuses on ethical and transparent systems. Patients receive:
- Clear estimate of charges
- No hidden fees
- Explanation of each treatment
- Consent forms in simple language
This builds trust with patients and families.
5. Safe Surgery Protocols
NABH ensures that surgeries follow strict safety steps:
- Double verification of patient identity
- IOL power confirmation
- Correct-site surgery checks
- Proper sterilization of instruments
- Post-op medication audits
This eliminates common surgical errors.
6. Emergency Preparedness
NABH requires hospitals to be prepared for:
- Medical emergencies
- Anaesthesia-related complications
- Fire safety
- Equipment failures
Regular mock drills ensure that staff know exactly what to do in critical moments.
7. Strict Quality Audits
NABH is not a one-time achievement—it requires continuous compliance.
Hospitals must perform:
- Internal audits
- Infection control audits
- Equipment calibration
- Root-cause analysis for any incident
- Monthly quality indicator reporting
This maintains high-quality care at all times.
8. Patient Rights and Privacy Protection
Patients are entitled to:
- Respectful behavior
- Privacy during examinations
- Access to medical records
- Clear communication
- Confidentiality of medical information
NABH ensures strict adherence to these rights.
9. Improved Surgical Outcomes
Because of standardization, cleanliness, and precision, clinical results are consistently better in NABH-accredited hospitals.
Patients benefit through:
- Faster recovery
- Fewer complications
- Better visual outcomes
