SCS Hospital wins national acclaim for excellence in gastro care and safety

Mangaluru – SCS Hospital Pvt Ltd, a pioneer in specialised gastroenterology care in Dakshina Kannada, has been recognised as a top performer and winner in the Pan India Endosafe Audit conducted by the Consortium of Accredited Healthcare Organisations (CAHO). The audit, endorsed by ISQua, ASQua, and the Quality Council of India, placed SCS Hospital at the top in the medium hospital category (South Zone) for its exceptional commitment to quality, safety, and service excellence.

A legacy of specialisation and commitment

The recognition underscores the hospital’s long-standing dedication to specialised healthcare. In 2018, SCS Hospital made history in the region by launching the first Super Specialised Department of Gastroenterology – the SCS Institute for Liver and Gastrointestinal Disorders, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Jeevaraj Sorake, Chairman and Managing Director.

The department continues to grow under the guidance of Dr. Chandrashekar J. Sorake, Clinical Director and Head of Gastroenterology, whose leadership and the team’s clinical acumen have positioned the hospital as a benchmark in gastroenterology services.

National honour at CAHOCON 2025

The award was presented at CAHOCON 2025, held in New Delhi on 12 and 13 April, a premier national convention on quality in healthcare. The event was graced by dignitaries including Smt. Rekha Gupta, Chief Minister of Delhi, and Dr. Kiran Bedi, former IPS officer and noted public administrator.

Dr. Chandrashekar J. Sorake and Ms. Rama J. Sorake, Chief Administrative Officer of SCS Hospital, accepted the award on behalf of the hospital. The recognition celebrates the hospital’s focus on patient safety, adherence to best practices, and consistent quality improvements.

Recognition backed by leading global bodies

The Endosafe Audit, a comprehensive evaluation tool for safety in endoscopy procedures, is backed by global and national health bodies including:

• ISQua (International Society for Quality in Health Care)

These endorsements underscore the credibility and importance of the recognition, marking SCS Hospital’s position as a national leader in gastrointestinal care and clinical safety.

Setting the bar for future-ready healthcare

From its early milestone of establishing a dedicated liver and gastrointestinal care institute to now being nationally honoured for clinical excellence, SCS Hospital has continually pushed boundaries in specialised healthcare delivery. Its focus on high-quality outcomes, patient-centric care, and ongoing commitment to safety and innovation has made it a model for other medium-sized hospitals in the region and beyond.

This award not only marks a significant achievement for the hospital but also reflects the rising standard of healthcare emerging from coastal Karnataka, with Mangaluru cementing its place on the national map for specialised medical care.
