Madhya Pradesh Removes 72 Hospitals Over NABH Certification Noncompliance
Madhya Pradesh has removed 72 private hospitals from a program that helps people get treatment.
The article says most of the action was connected to hospitals not meeting a certification rule.
The certification is called NABH.
Twenty-one hospitals have until October 31 to provide their certificates.
Until then, they will remain removed from the program.
The article also mentions hospitals removed for missing paperwork, serious irregularities, or not treating program patients recently.
There are 813 private hospitals in the state that provide care through the program.
More than half of those in four major cities are in Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur and Gwalior.
Seventy-two private hospitals were de-empanelled under Madhya Pradesh’s MP-ABN program, the article reports.
The action was primarily linked to failures to comply with mandatory NABH certification requirements.
Twenty-one hospitals were given until October 31 to provide NABH certificates and remain de-empanelled until then.
Of 60 hospitals reported as still non-compliant, 27 were in Bhopal, 17 in Indore, nine in Gwalior and seven in Jabalpur.
