- why CE act is envisioned & promulgated by the govt?
- To regulate and improve quality of health care establishments/hospitals.
what are the 3 objections raised by medical fraternity against this CE act?
- there is no mechanism for payment for the "mandatory and penniless" emergency services supposed to be rendered compulsorily by the hospital.
- no categorization of hospitals. govt forcing the small,medium and corporate and rural&urban hospitals to meet the same toe of rules.
- No regulatory rules over the govt hospitals and AYUSH hospitals.
So, is our IMA or any other medical organization, trying to force the govt to bring necessary amendments to this act?
Yes. Cinical Establishment (Registration & Regulation ) Amendment Bill 2015 placed before lok sabha on 8th May 2015 at serial no 43.
The main features of this Bill,as you rightly guess are as follows:
1) Mechanism for payment to be devised for emergency care
2) Relief to Small and medium Health Care establishments (SMHCE) in terms of minimum standards . SMHCE are defined as clinics, and nursing homes less than 20 bed.
3) No discrimination in minimum standards of similar size clinical establishments whether they are in Govt sector, allopathic private sector or AYUSH.
