JP Hospital Bhopal Requires Specialist Signatures for CT, MRI, X‑Ray Orders to Curb Unnecessary Tests

JP Hospital in Bhopal has announced a new protocol that will require specialist examination, signature and seal before any X‑ray, CT scan or MRI can be ordered. The change, implemented by the hospital’s management, is intended to prevent the over‑use of expensive imaging tests. Hospital officials say that the policy will help reduce the financial burden on patients and streamline the diagnostic process. While some patients may experience longer waiting times for specialist consultations, the move is expected to improve the overall quality and necessity of imaging services.
