This Act establishes the legal framework for registering and regulating clinical establishments in Madhya Pradesh, including nursing homes, physiotherapy clinics, and maternity hospitals. It requires these facilities to obtain licenses before operating, ensuring they meet specific standards for patient safety and hygiene. The law applies to all private and non-governmental medical institutions within the state, excluding those run by the central or state government unless licensed locally. By enforcing strict registration requirements, the government aims to improve healthcare standards, prevent unlicensed medical practices, and protect the rights and safety of patients receiving treatment.
