NATHEALTH seeks regulatory reforms, flags heavy compliance burden
New Delhi: Healthcare industry body NATHEALTH has sought regulatory reforms for the sector, saying it is currently subject to 10-12 ministries and three tiers of governance at the central, state and municipal levels.
The healthcare industry body, in collaboration with EY India, has prepared a whitepaper on the issue which has been submitted to the NITI Aayog.
According to the PTI report, NATHEALTH has benchmarked healthcare's regulatory intensity against other industries, including BFSI, mining and IT, where healthcare emerges among the top three sectors in terms of compliance burden.
"India's healthcare sector is subject to a complex and ever-evolving network of regulations spanning 10–12 ministries and three tiers of governance," the industry body stated.
