Mr. Anupam, Dr. Himanshu Sharma

Abstract :

IBEF (Indian Brand Equity Foundation) has clearly mentioned in his 2013 report that Healthcare Industries like Apollo Hospital, Max Hospital and Fortis Hospitals have become the topmost hospital chains results of their constant quality improvement and its maintenance. According to WHO, 63% of global mortality in 2008 was from non-communicable diseases which clearly indicate the urgency of a better healthcare infrastructure. Not only the quality but also products utilized by hospitals have great impact over the sustainability. A report generated by Johnson & Johnson state that majority of hospitals in countries like Brazil, Germany, United States and Italy have mandated healthcare suppliers for most sustainable products. The aim of this study is to analyze the implementation of standards and accreditations in developing country like India by boards like ISO, NABH, NABL and JCI. It also aims for factors responsible for survival and sustainability of these hospital in a competitive environment.
