Health200635 sections

This Act establishes the Telangana Para Medical Board to regulate paramedical education, training institutions, and healthcare professionals across Telangana. It applies to paramedical technicians including medical laboratory, radiographic, ophthalmic, and ECG technicians, as well as educational institutions, hospitals, laboratories, and clinics. The law mandates standardized educational curricula, official examinations, institutional recognition, and mandatory registration of qualified practitioners. Unregistered individuals are banned from practicing or claiming titles, and medical facilities cannot hire unregistered personnel. This legislation matters because it safeguards public health by preventing unqualified individuals from offering critical diagnostic services and ensuring uniform quality standards.
