India has certified over 50,000 public health facilities under the National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS) as of December 31, 2025. This milestone, achieved through a framework established by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, signifies a commitment to enhancing quality, safety, and patient-centered care across all levels of public healthcare. The NQAS initiative, which began in 2015 with 10 facilities, has seen rapid expansion, particularly with the introduction of virtual assessments, aiming to ensure equitable access to high-quality healthcare for all citizens.
