THE GOAL – What we all desire

“When we are ill, we want to know that we have a doctor whose technical knowledge and skills we can be sure of, on whose honesty we can rely and who will treat us empathetically with the respect and courtesy to which we are entitled. We need to be sure that the hospital or primary care team to which our doctor belongs works effectively and safely, so we can be assured that we are getting good quality care.

Mechanism

A platform on which all concerned (stakeholders) have come together and work collaboratively shoulder to shoulder to achieve the desired goal of TRUSTWORTHY & SAFE HEALTHCARE.

ICHA is the mechanism created in 2002 and established in 2004 as a not for profit organization under section 25 (now Section 8) of the Companies Act. ICHA is a globally recognized most optimal and credible platform. It took 50 years or more in the west to bring the diverse stakeholders together; in India it was achieved in 3 years.
