Pune Municipal Corporation issues notice to 24 Private Hospitals
JNSV Flags Safety Breaches in Kozhikode Hospital Blaze
Pune: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has issued notices to 24 private hospitals for failing to renew their fire no-objection certificates (NOCs) and neglecting fire safety regulations. This action comes after an inspection of all 867 private hospitals in Pune, which revealed non-compliance with fire safety norms, raising concerns about the safety of both patients and staff.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that following the tragic fire incident at a baby care centre in Delhi's Vivek Vihar where seven newborns lost their lives, the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) fire department has issued notices to all private hospitals and clinics registered with the civic body asking them to submit information about their fire safety measures.

He further added that the hospitals had been given one month to renew their fire NOCs. If they failed to comply, action would be taken by PMC under the relevant sections of the Bombay Nursing Act. However, the process of compliance had already started by most hospitals, with five hospitals having renewed their NOCs.
