How long does NABH accreditation take?
NABH Entry Level typically takes 9–12 months from a good baseline; full NABH accreditation takes 15–24 months, including a mandatory gap between entry and full assessment.
Can a hospital skip NABH Entry and apply directly for full accreditation?
Yes — hospitals with >50 beds and strong existing systems can apply directly for full NABH accreditation, though most greenfield hospitals use Entry Level as a stepping stone.
What does JCI accreditation cost a hospital?
JCI application and survey fees run USD 30,000–60,000 (varies by size), plus consultant preparation costs of ₹30–60 lakhs, making it a significant investment.
