IN ITS 60th year, Assunta Hospital continues to maintain its high standards by seeking professional accreditation.

“We realised the growing need to be aligned with globally accepted best practices and thus in 1995, we began the first step towards attaining accreditation,” said Assunta Hospital chief medical services officer and person in charge Dr Lourdes Dava Raj in an interview recently.
