The Haryana government has approved a new regulation allowing medical practitioners to establish nursing homes within private residential colonies, expanding care options for the elderly.
The state government of Haryana has introduced a new policy permitting doctors to set up nursing homes inside private residential colonies.
The directive, issued by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, aims to increase access to elderly care and reduce the burden on public hospitals.
Under the regulation, medical professionals must obtain the necessary licenses and comply with safety and hygiene standards before establishing a facility.
The move is expected to encourage private investment in geriatric care and provide residents with more convenient care options.
Health officials say the policy will also create job opportunities for nursing staff and support staff within the colonies.
