Bengal Assembly passes Clinical Establishment Bill for transparent hospital billing
The West Bengal Assembly on Tuesday passed the West Bengal Clinical Establishment (Amendment) Bill, 2025, aiming to bring more transparency in billing by private hospitals. The bill mandates that all hospitals prominently display fixed rates and package charges at a conspicuous place within the facility.
The bill, which got the house's nod on the seventh day of the ongoing Monsoon Session, will now go to Governor C.V. Ananda Bose for assent before it becomes a law, news agency IANS reported.
