Shopian: In a significant milestone for healthcare in the region, Dr. Abdul Rashid Paray and his dedicated team at PHC Herman, along with Dr. Parvaiz Ahmad and his committed staff at PHC Sedow, have achieved the prestigious National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS) certification.
NQAS, shorthand for National Quality Assurance Standards, is a rigorous certification program in India that assesses and acknowledges the quality of services provided by healthcare facilities.
The successful certification of PHC Herman and PHC Sedow underscores their adherence to stringent healthcare standards set by the government, ensuring enhanced healthcare delivery.
The collaborative efforts displayed by both PHC Herman and PHC Sedow are truly commendable.
Their joint commitment to meeting and surpassing the demanding healthcare standards exemplifies exceptional teamwork, reflecting positively on the quality of healthcare within their communities.
This achievement not only signifies the dedication of the healthcare professionals but also serves as an inspiration for others in the field to strive for excellence. The successful certification of these primary healthcare centers sets a benchmark for quality healthcare provision in the entire Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
It is noteworthy that among healthcare facilities in the entire Union Territory, only two Primary Health Centers (PHCs) qualified for the NQAS certification, and both are situated in District Shopian.
This accomplishment reinforces the commitment of healthcare professionals in the region to elevate the standard of healthcare services.
