Common questions
Before you download.
Clear expectations help you use the checklist as a practical internal review—not as a shortcut to accreditation.
Is this an official NABH assessment checklist?
No. It is an independent readiness tool from Mudgal Healthcare. It helps a hospital identify discussion areas, but it does not replace the current official NABH standards, assessor guidance or an accreditation decision.
Who should complete the checklist?
Hospital founders, directors, administrators, quality managers and department owners can complete it together. A cross-functional review usually gives a more realistic view than one person completing it alone.
How long does it take?
A first-pass self-review usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. Allow more time if department owners need to check evidence before marking a point.
Will Mudgal Healthcare review my result?
You can send the prepared WhatsApp message after downloading. Our team can then understand your current stage and discuss an appropriate starting point. No accreditation outcome is guaranteed.
