Accreditation Programmes are formal mechanisms through which healthcare organisations are independently assessed for compliance with defined quality and patient safety standards. These programmes involve a rigorous evaluation of clinical processes, governance systems, infrastructure, and service delivery practices. Accreditation signifies that an institution consistently follows evidence-based protocols, prioritises patient well-being, and fosters a culture of continuous improvement. It enhances institutional credibility, builds public trust, and positions the organisation as a leader in quality healthcare.

With an objective to provide access to quality health care for the majority of citizens especially those residing in villages, small towns, NABL launched voluntary programme namely “NABL Medical (Entry Level) Testing Labs {NABL M(EL)T Labs} Recognition Program” for the medical testing laboratories performing basic testing
To ensure the quality and competency of the temporary site testing laboratories, NABL has launched a recognition scheme for such laboratories.
