Government-run Niloufer Hospital in Hyderabad has secured the LaQshya certification, an accolade in labour-room quality improvement initiated by the National Health Mission (NHM) under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
On November 13, the hospital’s labour room and maternity operation theatre (OT) received the ‘quality certified’ tag under the LaQshya programme. The NHM assessment reflected excellent scores, with the labour room achieving 98.5% and the maternity OT scoring 97.1%.
The hospital administration highlighted that the certification entailed evaluating eight critical areas — Service Provision, Patient Rights, Inputs, Support Services, Clinical Services, Infection Control, Quality Management and Outcome. They credited the achievement to a six-month preparation led by hospital superintendent Dr. T. Usha Rani and resident medical officer Dr. Majeed Mohammed.
