Kohima: The Urban Primary Health Centre in Seikhazou has earned the National Quality Assurance Standards certification for the third consecutive cycle. The facility secured an overall score of 86.47 percent during a national-level assessment conducted by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in January 2026. This latest recognition validates the centre's performance across various services, including maternity health, emergency care, pharmacy operations, and laboratory standards.
First certified in 2019, the centre holds the distinction of being the first facility in Nagaland and the Northeast to achieve full NQAS status. Medical Officer Dr. Bilva Yalie noted that maintaining these standards requires rigorous training for healthcare staff and community workers to ensure consistent quality from antenatal care to services for the elderly.
Established in 2014 under the National Urban Health Mission, the facility serves a population of over 47,000 residents across ten wards and surrounding areas. It functions as a vital resource for economically disadvantaged families who rely on its services for primary treatment and post-referral monitoring. The centre builds community trust by maintaining active follow-up systems for patients referred to larger institutions like the Naga Hospital Authority Kohima.
Beyond its standard clinic operations, the centre organizes monthly outreach camps and health nutrition days to reach underserved urban populations. This consistent commitment to accessible healthcare has drawn patients from distant regions, further solidifying the centre's role as a trusted medical hub for the local community.
