Marengo Asia Hospitals and the Quality and Accreditation Institute (QAI) have joined forces to establish the state-of-the-art 'Center of Excellence in Quality & Patient Safety in Stroke Care' at Marengo CIMS Hospital, Ahmedabad. This collaboration aims to enhance stroke care treatment, with the center focusing on fortifying the healthcare system in the state and region. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) for this collaboration was initiated by Dr. Raajiv Singhal, Managing Director & Group CEO of Marengo Asia Hospitals, and Dr. B K Rana, Chief Executive Officer of Quality & Accreditation Institute (QAI).
QAI was instituted to establish an educational, training, quality improvement, and accreditation/certification ecosystem with a vision to create a platform for stakeholders, including professionals and organizations involved in any aspect of quality, to share their expertise and knowledge. Among the verticals within QAI is the Centre for Accreditation of Health and Social Care (CAHSC), which oversees accreditation/certification activities in the field of health and social care.
Dr Raajiv Singhal, Managing Director & Group CEO, Marengo Asia Hospitals says, “In the critical domain of stroke management, the pursuit of excellence is a dedicated responsibility. The advanced Center of Excellence in Neurosciences at Marengo CIMS Hospital has consistently delivered unparalleled patient care in stroke management. Through this collaboration, our objective is to establish a Hub & Spoke model, incorporating advanced stroke centers and primary stroke centers. We are actively engaged in building the capacity of stroke teams in these centers by providing training in 'Clinical Management of Stroke Patients', and ensuring compliance with 'accreditation standards.' This ensures that the right treatment is administered to stroke-affected patients within the 'Golden Hour' to minimize the impact of stroke because every life matters"
Dr B K Rana, Chief Executive Officer, Quality & Accreditation Institute (QAI) says, “I am delighted to announce the setting up of ‘Centre of Excellence for Quality & Patient Safety in Stroke Care' at Marengo CIMS Hospital. It is a proud moment for QAI to enter into a partnership with Marengo CIMS hospital to work towards improving quality and patient safety in stroke care using multimodal strategies. This one of its kind collaboration between the Accreditation Body and the Healthcare Service Provider would set benchmarks and encourage more collaborations to support the Government's policy on Non-communicable Diseases.”
