The Office of the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO), Bhopal, has issued notices to six private hospitals in Bhopal for failing to submit applications for hospital license and registration renewal within the prescribed deadline.

According to Section 3 of the Madhya Pradesh Subordinate Establishments and Outpatient Treatment (Registration and Licensing) Act, 1973, and Rules 1997 (as amended) 2021, private health institutions cannot operate without registration.
