Mumbai: The Maharashtra government on Friday told the Bombay High Court that it was in the process of formulating a stringent law, on the lines of the Centre’s Clinical Establishments Act, to regulate private nursing homes and hospitals in the state. During random inspections conducted by state authorities of private nursing homes and hospitals across Maharashtra in the past one year, around 6,000 were found to be operating without valid licenses, and in violation of various other provisions of the Maharashtra Nursing Homes Regulation Act 2006. The bench however, told the AG to submit details of the action taken against each of the nursing homes or hospitals that was found violating the state and the Centre’s norms.
