The Nagaland Health Care Estts. Act, 1997

The Nagaland Health Care Establishments Act, 1997 establishes a regulatory framework for private and voluntary healthcare facilities across Nagaland, excluding government-run institutions. It applies to hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, maternity homes, and diagnostic laboratories. Under the law, all covered facilities must obtain a mandatory license and register with the Nagaland Health Care Establishment Authority to operate. The Act sets essential standards for hygiene, proper waste disposal, round-the-clock qualified medical coverage, and restricts government employees from working in private facilities. It grants authorities the power to inspect facilities, issue directives, cancel licenses for violations, and penalize unlicensed operations, helping safeguard public health standards.
