Healthcare Group Urges Action on Compliance Burden in India
NATHEALTH, a healthcare group, wants the government to make it easier for hospitals and medical companies to follow the rules.
They gave a report to the government that says the healthcare industry has to deal with lots of different rules from many places, which is a big problem.
The group suggests using one online system and making rules the same across different areas.
They want the government to make things simpler so healthcare providers can focus on helping patients.
They say current rules are using up time and resources.
NATHEALTH presented a white paper to NITI Aayog regarding healthcare compliance challenges.
The healthcare sector is one of the most regulated in India, with approximately 24% of central-level regulations specific to it.
The white paper outlines 12 high-impact bottlenecks that require priority action.
