Clarification Sought from Two Clinics Under PCPNDT Act

Sunday, 26 January 2025 | R SHARMA / PNS | BOKARO

The District Inspection and Monitoring Committee conducted an inspection of Nirog Healthcare (Apollo) and Sarvodaya Hospital in Sector 4, uncovering several violations under the PCPNDT Act. The inspection, carried out on January 19, 2025, highlighted critical lapses in compliance with the law.

 

Among the issues found, the clinics failed to display boards informing the public about the illegality of gender determination, as required by the Act. Mandatory ultrasound documentation was incomplete, with missing patient signatures, and outdated registration certificates (Form-B) were found displayed. Additionally, both clinics did not have a copy of the PCPNDT Act available during the inspection, as mandated by law.

 

The inspection team also noted that essential details such as registered doctors’ names, clinic timings, fees, and contact numbers of key officials were missing from the display boards. Furthermore, the clinics admitted to filling Form-F only for anomaly patients, excluding other pregnant women, which is a violation of the Act. Referral slips for patients were also found without doctors’ signatures.

 

Acting on these findings, the Deputy Commissioner-Cum-District Appropriate Authority has issued notices to the clinics, instructing them to submit clarifications within three days.
