What is KPME Registration?
KPME registration refers to prior registration that a private medical establishment would have made under the KPME Act. KPME refers to an Act whose aim is to regulate and monitor private medical establishments to ensure that they follow the set standards of service, safety, and quality care.
In this case, registration shall ask for official permission granted by the Karnataka State Government for one to erect a clinic, a hospital, or even a diagnostic center. Private medical facilities must be registered under the KPME Act with the Directorate of Health Services (DHS), Karnataka.
The registration facilitates ensuring that the medical establishments carry on the work with necessary infrastructures, hygiene, and sound ethical practices in the dispensation of medicines. Interestingly, KPME registration entails multiple re-registration under the state regulation over time for compliance requirements.
Documents Required for KPME Registration
Once the application is made under KPME, there are documents submitted and submitted for review by the registering authorities. Such documents prove that your institution is KPME Act-compliant and that your medical facility complies with set standards.
Here are a few important documents that are generally required for registration with KPME:
- Application Form: Application form duly filled by the Directorate of Health Services.
- Ownership document: Owner or lease agreement over the medical establishment.
- Building plan: That is, a certified copy showing the building plan of the medical establishment which demonstrates the standard health and safety requirements.
