The licence your clinic, hospital or diagnostic centre needs.
ZegalWorks handles clinical establishment registration for clinics, hospitals, labs and diagnostic centres, so you can open on the right legal footing.
What is Clinical Establishment Licence?
Clinical establishments such as clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, labs and diagnostic centres are regulated by state-level laws, and in some states by the central Clinical Establishments Act. Registration or licensing is generally needed before you start treating patients.
Requirements depend on the state, the type and size of your facility, the services you offer and the staff you employ. We identify exactly what applies to you, including fire, biomedical waste and pollution approvals, and manage the application from start to finish.
Who this is for
A good fit if you
- Plan to open a clinic, hospital, nursing home or diagnostic centre
- Run an existing facility that needs to regularise registration
- Are adding services such as a lab or radiology
- Are opening a new branch in another state
Something else may suit you better if
You run a pharmacy only. See drug licence.
You need only business registration. See Private Limited Company.
You are a solo practitioner whose state exempts you. We will confirm the position for your state.
