Clinic License

Please elaborate in details

One of my client is planning to open a medical clinic.So he approached me for legalities and regulatory requirements for operating medical clinic in delhi.

Approvals Relating To Infrastructure
You would need a consultation room with a minimum of 100 square feet to operate a small doctor’s clinic. Naturally, the room requirements can also vary depending on the services you offer. Bear in mind, the space requirement will be multiplied for each specialization you give, and regulated as above under the respective laws.

If it is owned by you, the basic approvals needed for the building are:

Certificate for occupancy.

Certificate of completion.

If the building where the clinic/hospital is set up is more than 15 meters tall, the copy of Fire NOC is required.

If the building/space is taken on lease/rent, a lease deed/rent agreement will be required, which will be renewed at the expiry of the lease. And, ensure that the owner has received the aforementioned building permits.

You need a registration certificate under the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010, regardless of whether you are a small single practitioner clinic or a multi-speciality hospital. Each state passes its own rules, and the process followed to obtain the license often varies accordingly.

Drug License
If you have an attached pharmacy in your clinic/hospital, or you dispense medications from your clinic/hospital to your patients, then you need:

Retail license for drugs acquired under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, from the Drug Controller.

If narcotic medications are used or sold by the clinic/hospital in the form of injections or tablets or patches, then special permission must be sought from the district collector.

Delhi govt has not opted for clinical establishment (Registration & Regulatiin) Act,2010, Still do you think he need to get registered under this act?
Further do you know any consultant for above approval and registrations?

If Delhi government has not opted for clinical establishment then the regulation might not be required

What is certificate of completion by space owner
