NEW DELHI: The Delhi Government on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding with the Quality Council of India with the time-bound objective of attaining National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) quality standards in all its hospitals and medical institutions within three years.

The Quality Council of India would provide comprehensive consultancy services and technical support to prepare hospitals for accreditation as per NABH standards. Following the agreement, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit expressed confidence that it would help in enhancing the competency of Delhi hospitals in clinical care.
