Published - December 05, 2025 08:14 pm IST - Thiruvananthapuram The Government is likely to bring in some amendments to the Rules of Kerala Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulations) Act, 2018 and allow some concessions in the Act’s provisions so that the concerns of small and medium hospitals in the State are addressed. Kerala Private Hospitals’ Association (KPHA) and the Indian Medical Association (IMA), which had been opposing the implementation of the Act vehemently and had gone to court, contends that small and medium hospitals, which constitute a chunk of the private healthcare institutions in the State, would have to shut shop if the Act was implemented and that there were many “practical problems” in the way of implementation. They claimed that their concerns were not being addressed by the government.
