Being enlisted among the top 50 NABH-recognized organisations is a testament to Pristyn Care’s relentless pursuit of excellence, assessed rigorously across various critical areas, including statutory compliance information, organization information, facilities provided, privacy policy, general policy, and organisational responsibilities.
The MVTF empanelment program, started in 2016 at the request of the Ministry of Tourism and FICCI, and managed by NABH, makes sure that MVTF centers are responsible and trustworthy. This acknowledgement shows the promise of high standards and keeping patients safe, making international patients feel more confident about getting treatment. MVTF centres in important cities work with hospitals to make the empanelment process easier, using the country’s top-notch healthcare system.
Dr Vaibhav Kapoor, Co-founder, Pristyn Care, expressed his delight, stating, “We are honoured to receive the prestigious NABH MVTF empanelment, further solidifying our commitment to delivering exceptional healthcare services globally.
