The NQAS certification, or National Quality Assurance Standards certification, is a program launched by the Indian government to improve the quality of healthcare services in public health facilities. It involves assessing facilities against a set of predefined standards to ensure they provide safe, patient-centric, and high-quality care. Certification is awarded to facilities that meet these standards, serving as recognition of their commitment to quality healthcare.
