DHI India Makes History as the First Hair Transplant Clinic in the Country with NABH Accreditation
The DHI Medical Group Clinic in Delhi has set a new benchmark in the field of hair restoration. We have become the first and only hair transplant clinic in India to receive the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) accreditation. The honor was presented at the National Patient Safety Conference, NABH’s annual event, held on September 17, 2025, in New Delhi.
This milestone reflects years of effort, with our team at DHI™ India steadily refining every part of our practice to meet the rigorous quality and safety standards set by NABH. Our focus has always been on delivering medical cosmetology services that meet the highest standards in patient care.
Understanding NABH and What it Stands For
What is NABH?
NABH is the apex body in India responsible for establishing and operating accreditation and certification programmes in healthcare. It has been at the forefront of improving patient safety and service quality across the nation since its establishment in 2005. NABH is a constituent board of the Quality Council of India (QCI). Today, more than 25,000 facilities, including hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, AYUSH institutions, and even digital health platforms are accredited or certified by NABH.
What makes NABH stand out is its global credibility. Its programs are benchmarked against international standards and recognized by ISQua (International Society for Quality in Health Care). NABH works with both public and private sectors, as well as urban and rural institutions. Through its various functions, NABH affirms that quality care is not merely a privilege, but a patient right.
NABH Accreditation Explained
NABH accreditations formally and comprehensively evaluate the healthcare organization. Inspectors review clinical procedures, governance systems, facilities, and how care is delivered. Earning accreditation shows that the clinic follows clear quality and safety standards. It also assures that patients are at the heart of care and that the organization continually works to improve every aspect of its services.
DHI India’s Role in Setting Industry Benchmarks
DHI Medical Group has been setting global benchmarks in hair restoration for over five decades. We pioneered the Direct Method of Hair Transplantation, a technique now recognized as the gold standard in the industry. With 75 clinics across 45 countries, including 16 in India, DHI has grown into the world’s largest network of hair transplant clinics.
Every DHI™ clinic operates under the Total Care System, a comprehensive set of protocols certified by international bodies such as ISO and the UK’s Care Quality Commission. Each hair transplant procedure is performed by DHI™-certified doctors using advanced instruments. DHI™ guarantees minimal discomfort, natural-looking results, and graft survival rates of over 90%, the highest in the industry.
Our contributions and commitments have often been acknowledged through numerous recognitions and awards. Independent surveys conducted by IMRB ranked DHI™ number one in patient satisfaction, with more than 99% of our patients reporting positive outcomes. DHI™ is recognized by TUV Austria, ACHS Australia, and the World Health Academy. We have also received the Customer Excellence Award from Quantic and several certifications from leading global medical bodies. Most recently, the ET Healthcare Awards 2025 honored us with the Excellence in Clinical Services, Dermatology & Cosmetology award.
What This Accreditation Means for You, the Patient
When you choose a NABH-accredited clinic like DHI™, you are choosing a safe, reliable hair transplant option. The accreditation requires every procedure to adhere to strict infection control protocols and rigorous hygiene standards. It also guarantees transparency and ethical services as accreditation requires clinics to operate with accountability. Right from consultation to follow-up post treatment, you can expect processes that are fair and patient-focused.
Another key benefit is access to well-trained staff. DHI’s doctors and support teams undergo structured training. This translates to accurate diagnosis, better responsiveness, and professional care. Finally, NABH accreditation places emphasis on the overall patient journey. Standards are designed to make care more empathetic and feedback-driven. Accredited facilities consistently strive for better results as their focus is on error prevention and continuous improvement.
For us, accreditation is proof that the extra care we put in truly matters. For you, it’s a sign that you can move forward with confidence. If hair restoration has been on your mind, DHI™ can help you explore the right way to begin. Book a consultation now!
