Even after more than eight months since the Gujarat High Court mandated the registration of all hospitals under the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulations) Amendment Rules, 2024, a startling revelation has emerged from Surat. According to documents obtained through a Right to Information (RTI) application filed by social activist Darshan Naik, about 213 hospitals in Surat city and an additional 50 hospitals across the district have yet to complete their registration under the Act.
The urgency for compliance with this directive intensified following a tragic incident earlier this year, where 17 individuals suffered vision loss post-cataract surgery at a trust hospital in January. In response, the Gujarat High Court emphasized the importance of regulatory oversight to prevent such mishaps, directing the state government to ensure all hospitals, regardless of size, adhere to the registration mandate.
