One of the key focus areas of the IPSI is to support the NQAS certification of primary healthcare facilities. To gain insights from Sabarkantha’s notable success in achieving NQAS certification for SC-AAMs, IPSI facilitated a visit for health officials from Bhavnagar district on June 10th and 11th, 2024.
A team of 10 health officials, including CHOs, FHWs, Pharmacists, AYUSH MOs, and the DQAMO, along with representatives from the IIPH-G team and SHSRC Gujarat team, visited five facilities (three SC-AAMs and two PHCs) that had received NQAS certification. During the visit, they interacted with the CDHO of Sabarkantha District, Dr. Raj Sutaria, and DQAMO Dr. Malek, as well as other district-level officials. The objective was to understand the certification process and the challenges overcome, with the aim of expediting the NQAS certification of SC-AAMs in Bhavnagar.
