Haryana approves policy to establish nursing homes in residential colonies
Nursing homes in residential colonies
Chandigarh: Haryana has taken a step to strengthen neighbourhood-level healthcare by approving a policy that allows the establishment of nursing homes in licensed residential plotted colonies across the state. The policy aims to bridge healthcare gaps in emerging residential areas, ensuring residents have access to essential medical services close to home.
The Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, decided that permission for setting up nursing homes will be granted only on residential plots owned by qualified doctors—including allopathic and AYUSH practitioners—who hold valid registration with the Medical Council or AYUSH Council, are currently practising, and are registered with their local branch of the Indian Medical Association (IMA). An affidavit confirming these conditions will be mandatory with the application.
