The Bombay Nursing Homes Registration Act, 1949
Of all medical acts regulating nursing homes, this Act is the oldest. It was enacted
with three distinct purposes, (1) to provide for registration of Nursing Homes (NHs),
(2) to affect inspection of NHs and (3) to provide for other purposes connected with
registration and inspection of NHs.
But it is interesting to note here that the act was passed in the old Bombay state. Afterreorganisation of states in 1960, Gujarat and Maharashtra states adopted most of theold Bombay state acts. However, Gujarat made one of the few exceptions. Gujaratstate failed to adopt this ct. Thus, presently this Act is applicable only to Maharashtra state.
You are advised to visit the Distt.CMO office or do an RTI.
