Minimum Service Standards (MSS) for hospitals/ health posts is the service readiness and availability of tool for optimal requirement of the hospitals/ health posts to provide minimum services that are expected from them. This tool entails for preparation of service provision and elements of service utilization that are deterministic towards functionality of hospital/health facilities to enable working environment for providers and provide resources for quality health service provision.

MSS for hospitals reflect the optimally needed minimum criteria for services to be provide but in itself is not an “ideal” list of the maximum standards. This checklist of MSS is different than a program specific quality improvement tool as it will outline the equipment, supplies, furniture, human resource required for carrying out service but not detail out the standards operating procedures of any service.
