Indian regulators fine 24 hospitals ₹3 crore; Jaipur's Manipal, Soni, Indus among penalised

In a sweeping move aimed at enforcing health safety standards, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has levied a total of ₹3 crore in penalties against 24 hospitals nationwide for a range of violations, from sanitation lapses to procedural non-compliance.

Notably, Jaipur’s Manipal Private Hospital, Soni Hospital, and Indus Healthcare Centre were listed among the penalised, reflecting ongoing scrutiny of private institutions. The fines stem from repeated infractions, including improper sterilisation protocols and lack of required licensing for critical procedures.

These penalties underscore a renewed focus on patient safety and regulatory enforcement. They carry implications for quality of care, tenant awareness of compliance obligations, and may prompt hospitals to tighten internal audits. Source: Google News – Manipal.
