The selection committee visited the seven Command and equivalent hospitals, and evaluated them on a number of parameters including workload, services provided, infrastructure available, documentation, hospital logistics and overall functioning based on the ground rules formed by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH).

Northern Command General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C) Lt Gen Sanjiv Chachra congratulated Puri and his team of doctors, nursing officers and staff on this achievement.
