THE CLINICAL ESTABLISHMENTS ACT 2014

 

The Clinical Establishments Act was passed by Parliament of India on 17th August 2010, to provide for registration and regulation of all clinical establishments in the country with a view to prescribing minimum standards of facilities and services which may be provided by them so that mandate of article 47 of the constitution for improvement in public health may be achieved. The specific objectives are: 

  1. To establish digital registry of Clinical Establishments at National, State and District level. 
  2. ii) To prevent quackery by unqualified practitioners by introducing registration system, which is mandatory. 
  3. iii) To improve quality of health care through standardization of healthcare facilities by prescribing minimum standards of facilities and services for all categories of health care establishments (except teaching hospitals,) and ensuring compliance of other conditions of registration like compliance to standard treatment guidelines, stabilization of emergency medical condition, display of range of rates to be charged, maintenance of records etc.
