The Operational Guidelines on Quality Assurance along with standards and checklist have been prepared to facilitate the states in improving and sustaining quality services at our health facilities. By improving the quality of services would enhance satisfaction level among users of the Government health facilities and reposing trust in Public Health System. On the basis of these standards and checklist the public health facilities are assessed by trained assessors and those facilities which fulfill the criteria will be awarded state and National level QA Certification.
