Tougher rules soon for nursing homes, clinics
NEW DELHI: Healthcare sector will soon get a boost. Diagnostic centres, nursing homes, clinics, government-run health centres and hospitals will soon need to be registered.
They will also need to adhere to minimum standards specified by law. A draft Clinical Establishment Bill finalised by the health ministry is being sent to the cabinet for approval.
Till now, though there was a mushrooming of such centres, there was no central law to regulate them. Consequently, no authentic data on nursing homes, diagnostic centres or type of facilities/expertise offered was available.
Though some states had enacted laws to deal with the issue, it wasn't implemented yet. For example, Bombay Nursing Homes Act was passed in 1949 but rules could not be framed to implement it.
The Delhi Nursing Homes Registration Act 1953 was also facing the same fate. Moreover, existing laws dealt only with nursing homes and not diagnostic establishments.
A senior health ministry official says, "The ministry has been trying to enact a law to deal with the problem since 1996. However, it took some time to arrive at the final stage because there were many issues involved."
Under the proposed Act, he says, registration will be made compulsory even if the establishment has done so under any other state law.
There would be a registering authority at the district, state and national levels to ensure all comply with the law.
"Presently, there's no uniformity in standard and one can get different reports from different centres for the same pathological tests. We have to standardise this,"he says.
The proposed law will apply to all recognised systems of medicines, be it Allopathy, Unani or Ayurvedic. The official adds, "The same parameters will apply to a hospital, be it 10 or 1,000-bed. We will give two years to these health centres to register.
A national council will be constituted to verify, categorise, and standardise them."Non-compliance would attract penalty ranging from Rs 500 to Rs five lakh.
"We have tried to ensure it doesn't bring back the inspector raj. So before finalising the draft, suggestions from various agencies including state governments and industry have been taken,"he says.
