Marengo Asia Hospitals and the Quality and Accreditation Institute (QAI) have joined forces to establish a centre of excellence in Quality and Patient Safety in Stroke Care at Marengo CIMS Hospital, Ahmedabad. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) for this collaboration was signed by MD and group CEO of Marengo Asia Hospitals Dr Raajiv Singhal and CEO of QAI BK Rana. The initiative involves collaborating with and benefiting nursing homes and clinics, incorporating them into the programme to position themselves as local hubs for primary stroke care management, linked with Marengo CIMS Hospital and QAI.  Singhal said, “In the critical domain of stroke management, the pursuit of excellence is a dedicated responsibility. We are actively engaged in building the capacity of stroke teams in these centres by providing training in clinical management of stroke patients and ensuring compliance with ‘accreditation standards.”

Rana stated, “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. This initiative is aimed towards achieving better clinical outcomes in stroke, capacity building, and establishing a network of competent stroke centres.”
