Survival of Mumbai Nursing Homes…

Difficulties and Possibilities…

Mumbai Nursing Homes have always been kept on their toes while running their establishments. As though their cup of woes were not full, the recent High Court directive and the subsequent Supreme Court concurrence have enforced provision of a separate access for all nursing homes.

AMC has never shied from pursuing the doctors’ cause and a just one at that. Our members will agree that creation of a separate access to their existing nursing homes is a herculean task for the owners in the presence of acute infrastructural problems and other procedural restrictions.

Hence we at AMC have organized a discussion on this issue in a structured manner with the concerned authorities as well as representatives of the affected nursing home owners.

The present crisis does not need emphasis as it deals with our very existence in this city.

Let us meet, discuss the issue threadbare and evolve a few suggestions to overcome this crisis as well as decide on the course of action to be taken by us collectively.

Please mark your calendar for 21^st June 2009!

Dear Members, This is to bring to your notice that MPCB had issued a Public Notice on the 18th of July 2008 and demarcated particular wards for particular transporters for disposal of Biomedical Waste. This Public Notice mandated us to register with the designated transporter of our respective wards. Effectively it would have meant that we would have to cancel our registration with our existing transporter and register with the new one designated by MPCB. We at the Association had our reservations about the same and forwarded our objections to MPCB. A meeting was held on the 7th of August 2008 with the Member Secretary, MPCB. The transporters were also invited. The consensus arrived at the meeting was that the ward wise distribution of transporters would be applicable to only the newly registering generators. The generators already registered with any transporter can continue with their existing arrangements. The MPCB will issue a fresh notification to this effect shortly. Please note that the MPCB is now going to be proactive and any non-complying generators of biomedical waste are going to be heavily penalized and also issued closure notices. We therefore request all members to ensure strict compliance of the Biomedical Waste Disposal Rules 1998. In case any transporter is not providing the services to the optimum level promised, the member is requested to send a fax of his complaint letter to MPCB (Fax No.: 022- 24044532) and a copy of the same to the Association office (Fax No.: 022-26821109). For any further clarifications please feel free to contact the undersigned. Dr. Anand Parihar Dr. Rajeev Walawalkar Dr. Sudhir NaikPresident Hon. Secretary Convenor Nursing Home Cell
