Quality accreditation is a crucial step towards achieving excellence. In India, specific excellence accreditation for emergency departments was initiated by NABH in 2016. Five of the first seven EDs in India are Aster institutes. I had the privilege of playing an instrumental role and leading the marathon process of ED accreditation.



The first two accredited EDs were Aster Medcity Kochi and Aster MIMS Calicut. In Karnataka, Aster CMI became the first accredited ED, while DMWIMS became the first medical college ED accredited with NABH Excellence. Aster MIMS Kottakkal became the first accredited rural emergency department.

In 2018, I received the Quality Champion award from the EM Quality Forum. These efforts significantly raised awareness about the importance of quality accreditation in emergency departments, and many more Indian EDs followed suit. The quality accreditation of EDs proved to be invaluable in the management of the Calicut plane crash in 2020, which occurred against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic.


I am writing this note on the occasion of receiving the fourth consecutive NABH EM Excellence accreditation for Aster MIMS Calicut. This achievement fills us with immense pride and privilege. As Professor Varma always used to say, "Staying on the top of Mount Everest is much more difficult than climbing Everest," and this holds true for quality accreditation as well. Maintaining accreditation and consistently striving for excellence is of paramount importance, and Aster MIMS ED has successfully accomplished this herculean task.
