India commits to reduce risks of health care – associated infections

To fight the spread of health care – associated infections, which affect millions of patients each year worldwide, the Ministry of Health and Family welfare, Government of India, in association with the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Global Patient Safety Challenge and signed a pledge to acknowledge India’s commitment to address this problem.

Indian Confederation for Healthcare Accreditation (ICHA) began collaboration with World Health Organization’s “World Alliance for Patient Safety”; the objective being “Global Patient Safety”. The convention aims to build upon India’s existing efforts and initiatives to ensure safe healthcare for all.

Indian Confederation for Healthcare Accreditation (ICHA) is a National not-for-profit organization incorporated as a Company U/S 25 of the Companies act registered in NCT of Delhi. ICHA is the confederation of National Associations and Institutions of all stakeholders in healthcare. While National Associations are the owner members, it is appreciated that work has to be done by individuals and individual organizations who are enrolled as affiliates. This structure not only ensures credibility but also encourages apolitical contributions by all stakeholders.
