The Noolpuzha Family Health Centre (FHC), which caters to the health care of the State’s second largest tribal grama panchayat, has been selected for the National Quality Assurance Certification (NQAC) process for the second consecutive time.
The State government upgraded the health care institution into an FHC in 2017. Ever since, the hospital has been doing well in patient care, securing a score of 93% in the National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS) assessment carried out by a two-member expert team of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
The hospital secured the top honour by sticking to the quality standards in service delivery, cleanliness, maintenance and inpatient and outpatient care. A health institution had to pass more than 6,500 quality checkpoints to secure the honour, V.P. Dahar Mohammed, medical officer at the hospital, told The Hindu.
