Nagpur: The Urban Primary Health Centres (UPHCs) at Manewada and Nandanvan, under the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), have been awarded the National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS) certification. The assessment was conducted between April 28 and May 3 by national-level evaluators, covering Manewada, Nandanvan, and Kapil Nagar UPHCs.
While Manewada scored 89.95% and Nandanvan 88%, securing the certification, the result for Kapil Nagar is still awaited. The achievement follows NMC’s Indora and Shantinagar UPHCs, which were the first in Maharashtra to receive NQAS certification in 2023. The evaluation was based on 12 thematic areas, including maternal and child health services, outpatient care, immunisation, outreach, emergency and dressing services, family welfare, laboratory, pharmacy, infectious and non-communicable disease control, and general administration.
