The order, passed by the Health and Medical Education Department of Jammu and Kashmir on 20th June, called out the private nursing homes, polyclinics and other health facilities in J&K for not registering with the concerned District Registering Authorities and for not having the required manpower or facilities as mandated by the law. It directed the private nursing homes and other health institutions to follow the minimum prescribed standard of facilities and services/human resources/records within 15 days as mandated under the act.
