As per a report from 2018, India could potentially save a significant number of lives by improving the healthcare quality

- Priyanka Sharma

The Union government has doubled down on attempts to enforce quality at government-run health facilities after a recent review meeting heard that state governments were supplying "missing, inconsistent and outdated" data, holding back the Centre's efforts.

Accurate data is needed for the Center to roll out National Quality Assurance Standards (NQAS) certification, a set of standards for assessing and certifying the quality of public health facilities in India.

The National Health Mission's (NHM) funding for states and union territories is conditional on their health facilities getting the necessary NQAS certification.
