What Is Clinical Establishment Registration?

Clinical Establishment Registration is the process through which eligible healthcare facilities obtain recognition or registration under the applicable clinical establishment framework. The Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 applies in the states and Union Territories that have adopted it, while other states may follow their own healthcare establishment laws.

Depending on the location and facility type, requirements can cover infrastructure, qualified professionals, services, records, hygiene and patient safety.

The requirement generally concerns healthcare facilities such as:

• Medical clinics and nursing homes
• Hospitals and maternity centres
• Diagnostic and pathology laboratories
• Dental establishments
• Medical imaging centres
• Other notified healthcare establishments

Healthcare providers should first identify the law applicable in their state or Union Territory. Additional approvals may also apply based on the services offered.
