Delhi: Hospitals, Nursing homes license to be auto renewed till March
New Delhi: In a major relief to nursing home owners, the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday directed the health department to pass orders for automatic renewal of licenses of nursing homes in the city up to March 31, 2021.
The nursing home owners along with senior members of Delhi Medical Council (DMC) and Delhi Medical Association (DMA) met the Chief Minister and raised the issue of renewal of licences.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that taking strict cognizance of nursing homes (including those treating COVID patients) functioning with an expired license, the Delhi Medical Association (DMA) had sought the state government's intervention in taking necessary steps to resolve the concern.
Drawing attention towards the concern, DMA officials had alleged that despite the order given by the State Health Minister, Satyendra Jain to the authorities concerned to renew the registration of private hospitals and nursing homes till December 31st, 2020 no initiative was taken to execute the same.
