The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has tightened its noose around small and medium-sized hospital and nursing homes, it has been reported. If the PMC gets its way, at least 500 such establishments in the city could close down. According to the Pune Mirror report, the municipal corporation’s health department has this year started demanding additional documentation and details to renew medical licences. Along with this, valid licences of consulting doctors and building plans of hospitals are also on the list. Another demand is that of the water meter documentation since PMC claims many of the hospitals have been running with domestic water connections, rather than commercial.
