Raipur, 17 December 2024
On the initiative of Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai, a new notification has been issued giving great relief to medical institutions by amending the Chhattisgarh State Hospital and Medical Establishment License Rules 2013. Health Minister Shri Shyam Bihari Jaiswal has expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister, calling this change a historic step for expanding health facilities.
Under this notification, rules have been made flexible for hospitals having up to 30 beds to get registered under Chhattisgarh State Hospital and Medical Establishment License Rules 2013. According to the notification, now all the clinics in the state will be automatically given license on giving affidavit along with the application to follow the prescribed standards, which they can download online. 10 percent of these institutions will be inspected and if any deficiency is found, then the said deficiencies will have to be removed within a month.
Hospitals with 1 to 10 beds will be given license on giving affidavit to follow the norms along with the application and they will have to fulfill the norms within 3 months. Hospitals with 11 to 30 beds will have to apply as per the rules and the license will be issued after inspection by the medical officer within 3 months. If this process is not completed within 3 months, then such institutions will be considered automatically registered and will be able to download a copy of the license online.
Hospitals having more than 30 beds will have to follow all the rules to get the license but they are exempted from the requirement of fire NOC and no objection certificate for biomedical waste. For this they will have to follow separate rules.
With the simplification of rules, it will be very easy for clinics and hospitals with up to 30 beds to get registered. This will expand health services and the people of the state will get the benefit of more health facilities than before.
