Accreditation Program for AYUSH Hospitals consists of two kinds of standards - Accreditation Standards and Structural Standards. Accreditation standards are based on three components- structure, process and outcome. These standards measure the quality and safety aspects of the care delivered to the patients. Structural standards which are basically deals with infrastructural requirements to help the organisations to deliver quality of care. For each speciality i.e Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani, Siddha. Yoga and Naturopathy we have separate Accreditation and Structural Standards as per their individual system of medicine and requirements.
