The appointment underscores Dr. Bajaj’s contributions to strengthening healthcare quality standards and his work in expanding access to affordable care across the country.
“It is a profound honor and responsibility,” Dr. Bajaj said in a statement. “Ensuring that quality healthcare is not a privilege but a right for every Indian is vital to India’s health and development narrative. I look forward to partnering with NABH and stakeholders to create a healthcare ecosystem where geography or income no longer limits access to quality care.”
