Stating various irregularities in the Nursing Home Act, private doctors of the State demanded from the Government to rectify them. They said that the Nursing Home Act was not prepared looking to the arrangements of all the hospitals. Only one law has been made for all big and small hospitals, which was not practical, they said.
The Nursing Home Act is being implemented in the state to curb irregularities in the private hospitals and nursing homes and for that online application has been sought from all small and big hospitals. Till date 900 applications have been submitted in Raipur district.
Hospital directors were continuously questioning about the Act. They said that with the implementation of the Act many a hospitals would be closed down, as it would be difficult to maintain the expenses as per the Act. All the private allopathy, homoeopathy and ayurveda doctors of the state are pestered with the Act.
Chhattisgarh Suraksha Manch on Monday, at a meeting held at Shaheed Smarak Bhawan, discussed the benefits and loss of the Nursing Home Act. In the meeting, doctors said that about 6,000 doctors treat patients in the state under the allopathy and Ayush systems, whereas, 30,000 doctors give their services in rural areas. Who were trained in alternative treatment system, ayurved ratna, vaidya visharad, electro homoeopathy, para medical etc.
State president of the Manch Dr RS Thakur and other doctors said that the Act had been made for all the systems of treatment and all the hospitals. Information is being collected from small clinics. It is impractical. However, this Act is not being implemented in government hospitals, where medical services are being imparted through Mitanins and Anganbadi workers.
