IMA Nagpur Raises Concerns Over Strict Regulations Imposed on Small Hospitals
Top 250 Hospitals
Nagpur: A delegation of doctors running small and mid-sized private hospitals recently met with Maharashtra Health Minister Prakash Abitkar and expressed concerns regarding the imposition of the same regulatory standards to their facilities as those applied to large corporate hospitals.
During the meeting with the minister on Sunday, they highlighted the challenges they were facing as owners of small or mid-size hospitals due to the strict regulations of the government. They urged the government to simplify the hospital renewal process by reducing excessive documentation and eliminating the need for multiple clearance certificates.
The delegation led by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) Nagpur met Abitkar at the office of the Divisional Deputy Director of Health Services (DDHS). The doctors argued that smaller hospitals, with 10 to 50 beds, should not be subjected to the same regulatory framework as large corporate hospitals.
