Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 8: Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital (SMVDNSH), Katra, has been honored with the AHPI Digital Health Excellence Award at a prestigious ceremony held in Cochin on January 31, 2025. The hospital is one of only three organizations globally to receive this esteemed recognition, reaffirming its leadership in integrating digital healthcare solutions, including electronic medical records, telemedicine, and AI-driven diagnostics, to enhance patient care. SMVDNSH has set a benchmark by leveraging technology to improve accessibility, efficiency, and medical outcomes, establishing itself as a pioneer in the region's healthcare transformation.
Beyond digital excellence, SMVDNSH distinguishes itself as the only hospital in Northern India with multiple national and international accreditations, including NABH (5th Edition), NABH Nursing Excellence, NABH Emergency Excellence, NABL (ISO 15189:2022), ISO 13485:2016, Green OT Certification, and CAHO-ACE for sterilization. These accreditations validate the hospital's unwavering commitment to patient safety, clinical excellence, and operational efficiency, ensuring that every patient receives world-class medical care in a safe and structured environment. The hospital's NABH Emergency Excellence certification further highlights its unmatched emergency response capabilities, making it the most reliable facility for trauma, stroke, and cardiac emergencies in the region.
Unlike other hospitals in the region that primarily offer secondary care, SMVDNSH is a tertiary care superspeciality hospital, providing comprehensive advanced medical services in cardiology, neurology, oncology, gastroenterology, nephrology, orthopedics, and urology. With state-of-the-art cath labs, modular operation theaters, and cutting-edge diagnostic tools, the hospital has significantly reduced patient dependency on out-of-state medical institutions, allowing residents to access superspeciality treatment closer to home.
SMVDNSH is also at the forefront of preventive and affordable healthcare, offering wellness screenings, community outreach programs, and partnerships with Ayushman Bharat and corporate health schemes to ensure equitable access to high-quality treatment. The hospital's NABH SHCO accreditation for its Jammu Multispecialty Clinic further extends its reach, ensuring that smaller facilities maintain the same high standards of patient safety and clinical care.
Environmental sustainability is another key differentiator for SMVDNSH. As the first hospital in J&K to receive Green OT Certification, it has implemented eco-friendly surgical practices, waste management systems, and energy-efficient hospital operations, aligning with global healthcare sustainability goals. This initiative ensures that while delivering top-tier medical services, the hospital remains committed to minimizing its environmental footprint.
Speaking on this remarkable achievement, Dr. M. M. Mathavan, Facility Director, SMVDNSH, said, "This award is a testament to our hospital's unwavering commitment to excellence in digital healthcare, patient safety, and clinical innovation. We have demonstrated that quality healthcare can be both technologically advanced and patient-centric. This recognition motivates us to continue enhancing our services and setting new benchmarks in medical excellence for the region."
This achievement has been made possible by the vision and unwavering support of **Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board**, which has played a pivotal role in shaping SMVDNSH into a center of excellence. Their dedication to healthcare advancement has enabled the hospital to offer world-class medical services while maintaining a strong commitment to compassionate and patient-centric care.
By consistently achieving national and international milestones in healthcare excellence, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspeciality Hospital stands as a leader in the region's medical landscape.
