24 Hospitals Penalised ₹3 crore Each; Jaipur’s Manipal, Soni & Indus Among the Fined

In a sweeping regulation enforcement, 24 hospitals across India were fined ₹3 crore each by state health authorities in a drive to improve medical standards. Among those penalised are Jaipur’s Manipal, Soni and Indus hospitals.

The sanctions followed investigations that uncovered serious breaches in patient safety protocols, inadequate infrastructure, and staff licensing irregularities, prompting regulators to levy heavy fines to enforce compliance.

The penalties could compel the hospitals to conduct immediate financial audits, overhaul clinical procedures, and in some cases face suspension of operations pending remedial action. The move is expected to raise the bar for patient care, though it may temporarily affect service access for residents seeking treatment. Source: Google News – Manipal.
