IMA stated that an on the spot single window system would expedite the renewal process, reducing bureaucratic hurdles for medical facilities in Pune.
Pune: In a recent development, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) Pune chapter has requested the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to implement an on-the-spot single-window system for license renewal. Simultaneously, the IMA has voiced strong opposition to the amendments proposed in the Maharashtra Nursing Homes Registration (Amendment) Rules, 2021.
The demand for a streamlined and spot-on license renewal process aims to simplify administrative procedures for healthcare establishments. IMA stated that an on-the-spot single-window system would expedite the renewal process, reducing bureaucratic hurdles for medical facilities in Pune. Dr Sanjay Patil, former state vice-president (VP), IMA and chairman, of the Hospital Board of India, Pune chapter told Medical Dialogues that last year an expert team conducted a thorough investigation of the facilities, and an on-the-spot registration of licenses was initiated and this system should continue to prevail.
“Previously the hospitals had to apply to Zonal officers and they it was referred to the Central Building. But the on-the-spot registration means hospitals don’t have to visit the ward office to submit documents or send staff for verification of documents,” he said.
