6 years after law on clinical establishments, Punjab has no mechanism to regulate private hospital charges
Chandigarh: Nearly six years after it was enacted, the Punjab Clinical Establishments Act, 2020, remains without rules, leaving the state with no statutory mechanism to regulate private hospital charges.
The delay has stalled the implementation of a law meant to regulate private hospitals and clinical establishments across Punjab. While the act has been notified, the absence of rules has prevented its enforcement, including provisions relating to registration of private hospitals, prescription of minimum standards and regulation of charges.
