We demand amendments to CE Act.

  • 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.
