Chandigarh 27th August:- Dr. Kochar’s House of Smiles, a
state-of- the- art dental clinic located in Sec 21, Chandigarh, has achieved a
National milestone. The clinic has been given the coveted NABH (National
Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare
Providers) Accreditation, which is the highest National Recognition for
International quality and patient safety. Dr Kochar’s House of Smiles is the
first dental clinic of Chandigarh to have got this recognition.
Dr. Parag Kochar, CEO & Principal
Dentist and Dr. Manisha Kochar, Owner of Dr. Kochar's House of Smiles and
senior members of the management announced the details of accreditation during
a press meet held at the clinic’s premises.
It is noteworthy that NABH is a
constituent board of Quality Council of India, set up to establish and operate
accreditation programmes for healthcare organizations.
Speaking on the occasion Dr Parag Kochar
said that we are all feeling proud on becoming the city’s first NABH accredited
dental clinic. It was a very challenging journey for us but the hard work and
efforts of the staff members have made this dream come true. It was a very
tough process as we had to meet all standards and policies of the accreditation
system.
He further added that the parameters
which we had to meet were usage of CE- certified materials, training for
various medical and non-medical emergencies, X-ray machine registration with BAR,
regular air and water quality checking and maintenance, 24 hours backup of
electricity etc.
The clinic also conducted regular
training and meetings to follow the standard operating procedures, even the
housekeeping staff was trained to save a life through fire mock drills and BLS
mock Drills.
Dr. Manisha Kochar said that the
International level best practices already in place at our clinic made the
accreditation smooth for us. We have been adhering to strict quality standards.
We have a hygienic environment, and we check air and water quality, before
and after every surgical treatment. The operatories are fumigated to reduce the
chances of infection and we use only CE certified materials.
The experts also shed light on how a
prestigious accreditation like NABH helps the patient community to choose the
right clinic for treatment.
Dr Manisha explained further that NABH
is the accreditation, which gives a clinic or hospital a certification of
higher standards of quality in providing healthcare. What also helped us get
the accreditation was the high level of sanitisation we have in the
clinic. Our USP is the B class Autoclave we have for instrument
sterilization, this makes all procedures safe and there is no fear of
infections.
During the press meet, first time in
city, latest & unique technologies were also showcased. These included
Mouth tour - an intra-oral camera for a mouth video tour, J Morito endomotor- a
hand-piece through which a dentist can work subtly and sensitively and ‘Shape
scanner’, which records the shape, size and color, of the tooth & one can
get the denture or implant the same as your natural teeth in later ages or when
required.
The ambiance of the clinic also
helped it in its endeavour to get NABH accreditation. The white décor makes the
clinic’s interiors soothing. There is even a meditation room at the
reception. For patient comfort, a massager, refreshing beverages and IPads
etc have been catered for.
Dr. Parag Kochar said that we are
really happy with this achievement and would like to share our happiness with
visitors, who will get 25 percent concession on all dental treatments for one
month.
