Hyderabad Clinics Busted: 224 Unregistered Facilities Face Shutdown
18 Feb
Summary
- 224 medical establishments in Hyderabad received notices for operating without registration.
- Health officials conducted a district-wide survey to identify unregistered facilities.
- Unregistered clinics face potential closure and fines up to ₹50,000.
In Hyderabad, 224 medical establishments have been served notices for functioning without the required government registration. This action follows a comprehensive survey across the district aimed at identifying all unregistered healthcare facilities.
The survey encompassed various medical establishments, including allopathic hospitals, AYUSH centers, dental clinics, and physiotherapy centers. Notices were distributed via Primary Health Centres, with photographic evidence taken for premises where owners were unavailable.
These establishments now have seven days to provide a satisfactory response. Failure to comply will result in a show-cause notice and possible temporary closure until registration is completed. Fines for non-compliance can reach up to ₹50,000, though authorities cannot directly seal unregistered facilities under current law.
