IMPHAL, May 11: Ameri-can Oncology Institute (AOI) at Babina Specialty Hospital in Imphal has achieved NABH accreditation uplif-ting healthcare standards in the region.
The NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) accreditation is a rigorous process that evaluates various aspects of healthcare delivery, including patient care, infras- tructure, infection control, and management systems.
This accreditation is a testament to the hospital's dedi- cation to upholding the highest standards of patient care and safety, said Dr Thang-jam Dhabali,  chairman and managing director of BABINA Healthcare and Hospitality Industries Pvt Ltd.

When the institute was opened, it had three Departments, Medical Oncology, Surgical Oncology and Radiation Oncology. Later, for the first time in Manipur, a Nuclear Medicine Department was added. In a few months, the institute will have the facility for conducting bone marrow transplants for comprehensive treatment of cancer patients, he said.
