15+years in corporate healthcare
The four pillars

Licensing, accreditation, credentialing and certification

Licensing

Formal recognition that your facility has the infrastructure and expertise to operate. It is compulsory, state norms differ, and lapsed licences can invite legal action.

Accreditation

A review of excellence against national or international benchmarks. It builds trust with patients, insurers and referring doctors and strengthens your hospital’s identity.

Credentialing

Validation that each doctor has the qualifications and experience required to practise in your facility.

Certification

Recognition of additional qualifications held by practitioners, with periodic re-tests and upgrades to maintain credibility.

Common approvals

Licences and documents most healthcare facilities need

The exact list depends on your state, specialty and services. These are the approvals we handle most often.

Land / space permit

Permission from the local authority to use the site for healthcare, issued after inspecting the site, construction plan and likely environmental impact.

NABH & JCI

National and international quality accreditations that demonstrate patient safety and service quality. NABH is increasingly required by insurers.

PCPNDT

Registration under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act for any facility with ultrasound or sex-determination-capable equipment.

AERB

Atomic Energy Regulatory Board licence for X-ray, CT, radiotherapy and nuclear-medicine equipment, confirming radiation safety.

National Building Code

Compliance with the NBC for structural, fire and life-safety provisions before construction.

MTP

Approval for medical termination of pregnancy, needed by gynaecology units and nursing homes.

Drug sale licence

Required when the hospital runs an in-house chemist or pharmacy.

Society / building NOC

NOC from the society managing committee when the practice operates within a residential or commercial society.

Fire safety certificate

Validation of your fire-safety systems and protocols; now required even for many clinics and small nursing homes.

Water & electricity permits

Sanctions from the local body and electricity board for the high utility loads a hospital needs.

Biomedical waste authorisation

Authorisation from the pollution-control or sanitation authority for safe segregation and disposal of biomedical waste.

Clinical establishment registration

Registration under the Clinical Establishments Act or your state’s nursing-home / medical-establishment law.

How we work

A licensing process that is fast and frustration-free

  1. Applicability review

    We map every licence, NOC and registration your facility needs, based on state, specialty, equipment and bed count.

  2. Documents & drawings

    We prepare applications, layouts, SOPs and supporting documents in the format each authority expects.

  3. Submission & liaisoning

    We file, follow up and coordinate inspections with municipal, health, fire, pollution and radiation authorities.

  4. Accreditation & renewals

    We prepare you for NABH or JCI assessment and keep a renewal calendar so nothing lapses.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Which licences are needed to open a hospital in India?
Typically clinical-establishment or nursing-home registration, building and fire NOCs, biomedical waste authorisation, pollution-control consents, a drug licence for the pharmacy, PCPNDT and AERB registrations where imaging is offered, and lift, electricity and water sanctions. The exact list depends on your state and services. See our guide to licences required to open a hospital.
How long does hospital licensing take?
It varies by state and by how complete the documentation is. Applying in the right sequence, with drawings and SOPs ready, avoids most delays. We share a realistic timeline after the applicability review.
Is NABH accreditation mandatory?
NABH is voluntary, but many insurers and government schemes expect it for empanelment and better tariffs. We help with gap analysis, documentation, training and assessment readiness. Read how to get NABH accreditation.
Do you handle licence renewals for existing hospitals?
Yes. We take over renewals and compliance tracking for existing hospitals, clinics and diagnostic centres, and fix lapsed or pending approvals.
