The Arunachal Pradesh Health and Establishment Act, 2002, is a regulatory statute designed to oversee the private healthcare sector within the state. It mandates that all private health establishments—including hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, dispensaries, and clinical laboratories—must be officially registered with the government to operate legally. The Act empowers authorities to inspect these facilities to ensure they meet specific medical and safety standards. For the ordinary citizen, this law provides a layer of protection by ensuring that the private medical facilities they visit are recognized, monitored, and held accountable for the quality of care they provide.
