Dr. Atul Mohan Kochhar, CEO of the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH), has reaffirmed the organization's zero-tolerance policy towards tampering, forgery, and falsification of documents submitted for accreditation and certification processes.
“Tampering, falsification, and misrepresentation will not be tolerated in any form,” Dr. Kochhar said, emphasizing that NABH is committed to upholding the integrity of its accreditation and certification systems.
NABH has stipulated strict punitive measures against healthcare organizations (HCOs) found engaging in unethical or unlawful practices during the accreditation process. These measures include immediate closure of accreditation or certification applications, withdrawal of existing accreditation or certification status, a mandatory five-year bar from reapplying under any NABH programme, initiation of legal proceedings as deemed necessary and public disclosure of the names of defaulting organizations on the NABH website.
The move comes amid increasing reports of hospitals submitting tampered statutory licenses, manipulated staff lists, altered infrastructure images, and forged documents to gain NABH accreditation or empanelment with regulatory bodies and insurance networks.
Dr. Kochhar made it clear that the onus lies squarely on the hospital leadership, including owners, CEOs, and senior management, to ensure the accuracy and authenticity of all data and documents submitted to NABH.
