Sree Subramania Ayurvedic Nursing Home, a Green Leaf Certified Ayurveda Centre in Kerala, known for its research and treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Stress Management, Back Ache, Obesity Management and Dengue has recently been accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH).
The accreditation was handed over by Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Ashwini Kumar Choubey to Bhishak Ratna Rajaratnam Vydiar, Medical Director and Dr. Sanand Ratnam, Chief Medical Officer, Sree Subramania Ayurvedic Nursing Home.
The hospital has received a certification from the NABH stating that the accreditation, granted based on various parameters under patient safety and quality of care, will be effective from November 2017 to November 2020. The NABH is a constituent board of Quality Council of India (QCI), set up to establish and operate accreditation programme for healthcare organisations.
“We are honored to have received this certification. This is considered to be a great achievement by the hospital in its service to the Society by maintaining traditional wisdom in the application of Ayurvedic treatments to many diseases which obliquely considered incurable. The hospital's accreditation has benefits all its stakeholders and foremost the patient because of the improved care,” stated Dr Sanand Ratnam Thekkayil, chief medical officer, Sree Subramania Ayurvedic Nursing Home.
The nursing home is the first Ayurvedic Hospital in Kozhikode by maintaining the quality in medicines as well as treatments; it was able to attain the desired result of Accreditation Certificate from National Accreditation Board for Hospitals in November 2017 for a period of three years.
Adding another feather to their hat, the Ayurvedic centre isn’t only the first NABH certified Ayurvedic hospital in Kozhikode but is also the first amongst the districts: Kannur, Waynad and Kasargod of northern Kerala to achieve the same.
NABH standards are set in consultation with healthcare experts and providers, measurement experts and patients. To achieve international-level standards, a hospital needs to undergo stringent scrutiny and quality audit. Registration, admission, pre-surgery and post-surgery protocols, discharge from the hospital to follow up are the aspects which are inspected to check whether the policies and protocols are transparent.
The hospital specializes in resolving issues related to all types of Arthritis cases especially back pain. It is estimated that over 10,000 cases have been treated with 90% success rate. In 2011, it became a Green Leaf Certified Hospital issued by the Department of Tourism, Government of Kerala, for its service to the Society. The hospital acquired empanelment from Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) since 2015.
