The Haryana Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2014

Health201450 sections

This law provides a mandatory system for registering and regulating all healthcare facilities, both public and private, operating across the state of Haryana, with the exception of military medical units. It applies to hospitals, clinics, maternity homes, diagnostic centers, and dispensaries covering various recognized systems of medicine like Allopathy, Ayurveda, and Homeopathy. The legislation establishes state and district authorities to enforce uniform minimum standards of care, personnel, infrastructure, and record-keeping. Importantly, it mandates that facilities with indoor beds must provide emergency first aid and stabilization to patients in critical condition. By holding healthcare providers accountable through inspections, fines, and potential closures for non-compliance, the law protects patient health, safety, and rights.
