The Telangana government has adopted Clinical Establishments Act (Registration and Regulation), 2010 to empower the health department for regulating and sanctioning private healthcare establishments in the State. All the healthcare facilities are mandated to register themselves with the District Registering Authority (DRA) in each district. The DRA can grant, renew, suspend and cancel registration of any hospital and can also investigate complaints of breach and enforce compliance of the provisions and rules of the Act.
All private hospitals must register with health authorities. They must submit patient records every month to the health authorities. Diagnostic laboratories, physiotherapy units, CT and MRI scan labs must register by paying fee.
