After the inspection, the team will have to submit its report to the CMHO. Immediately notices will be issued to the hospitals where the deficiencies are found. A copy of the inspection report will also be attached with the show cause notice. In this, the defects found during the investigation will also be told.
During the inspection, show cause notices will be issued through CMHO to the operators of those hospitals where fire safety and electrical safety are not found properly. A copy of the notice will be sent through email, WhatsApp. Action will be taken if you do not respond within a month. If the answer is not found satisfactory, then the registration of the nursing home will be canceled by issuing a speaking order against the operator of the nursing home.
