Health200715 sections3 chapters

The Kerala Ayurveda Health Centres Act of 2007 regulates the licensing, clinical facilities, and staff qualifications of private Ayurveda treatment centres in the state of Kerala. It applies to all commercial Ayurvedic health and therapy establishments, excluding government owned facilities and private clinics that only diagnose patients or sell medicines. This legislation matters because it protects public safety by standardizing treatment rooms, mandating qualified doctors, and requiring therapists to be the same gender as their patients. By imposing inspections, three year licence renewals, and criminal penalties for unlicensed operators, the Act ensures that patients receive safe, hygienic, and authentic Ayurvedic healthcare.
