Woodlands Multispeciality Hospital has made history by becoming the first hospital in West Bengal to receive NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) accreditation for its Emergency Department.

This prestigious recognition highlights the hospital’s commitment to delivering world-class emergency medical care while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and treatment.

The NABH accreditation follows a rigorous assessment process, evaluating key parameters such as infrastructure, triage system, staffing, emergency preparedness, and quality management.

Woodlands Hospital’s 10-bed emergency department has not only met but exceeded these stringent benchmarks, ensuring seamless, life-saving interventions round the clock.

A well-structured triage system is one of the department’s key features, allowing for efficient categorization of patients based on the severity of their condition.

The emergency unit includes a two-bed section for extremely critical patients, three beds for moderately critical cases, and three for less critical patients, all distinctly color-coded to facilitate rapid response and appropriate care.

This systematic approach enhances patient outcomes and ensures optimal resource utilization.

Further bolstering its emergency care capabilities, the hospital has incorporated a dedicated negative/positive pressure room, a crucial feature for infection control.

Additionally, four ventilator-supported beds enhance critical care readiness, ensuring immediate medical intervention when required.

Round-the-clock availability of specialists trained in emergency medicine further strengthens the hospital’s commitment to high-quality care.

The department is also equipped with a procedure room for minor medical interventions and 24x7 radiological investigation facilities, enabling quick diagnosis and treatment for trauma and accident cases.

Essential emergency diagnostic tools such as Troponin I and Troponin T tests, portable ECG, ECHO, ultrasound, and defibrillators further reinforce the hospital’s preparedness in handling critical medical situations with precision and speed.

Commenting on the achievement, Dr Shiva Shankar Bhadra, in-charge of the Emergency Department, stated, “This NABH accreditation is a testament to our relentless efforts in providing top-notch emergency care. Our structured triage system, advanced facilities, and dedicated medical team ensure that every patient receives the best possible treatment without delay.”

Rupak Barua, Managing Director & CEO, Woodlands Multispeciality Hospital, added, “We are proud to be the first hospital in West Bengal to receive NABH accreditation for our emergency department. This milestone underscores our dedication to patient-centric care and reinforces our position as a leader in emergency medical services.”
