These updated guidelines focus on cardiology, oncology, neonatal care and arthroplasty.
The move comes in the wake of the Khyati Hospital case where two patients died after botched-up angioplasty. The hospital was found to have carried out angioplasty procedures despite no medical necessity and also categorised them as "emergency" to expedite government approval.
Numerous complaints of criminal intent and malpractice by some private hospitals have been recorded since the Khyati hospital case came to light.
In 2024 alone, 14 hospitals were suspended, de-equipped and fined for violations. A total fine of Rs 18 crore has been imposed, highlighting the government’s zero-tolerance policy against unethical practices.
