NABH, a constituent board of the Quality Council of India, accredits hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres, blood banks and other healthcare providers against standards for access, assessment and continuity of care, patient rights, infection control, medication management, quality improvement and facility safety.

We run readiness assessments, write policies and SOPs, train quality teams and conduct mock assessments before the NABH visit. For digital health, we add ISO 27001 and DPDP controls.

## How Secure iQube helps

1. **Gap assessment**: We compare what you do today with every requirement and control, then give you a prioritised gap report and a realistic timeline.
2. **Design and documentation**: Scope, policies, procedures, risk methodology and records, written to fit how your teams actually work, not a template binder.
3. **Implementation and training**: We help owners put controls in place, train the people who run them and start collecting evidence.
4. **Internal audit and management review**: An independent internal audit and a structured management review prove the system works before the certification body looks at it.
5. **Certification audit support**: We prepare you for Stage 1 and Stage 2 with your chosen accredited certification body and help close any findings quickly.
6. **Surveillance and continual improvement**: Optional managed support keeps evidence current through annual surveillance audits and the three-year recertification.
