Ranchi: Health institutions have been directed to ensure fire safety arrangements and submit the Fire No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the Civil Surgeon’s office. This order has been issued in line with the state government’s directives, and the Ranchi Civil Surgeon has now enforced this mandate.
According to the order, private hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic centers, and laboratories must secure a fire safety arrangement and obtain the NOC from the concerned department. Failure to submit the NOC will lead to action under the Clinical Establishment Act, the order warns.
This move is aimed at strengthening safety protocols across health service facilities and ensuring that fire safety measures are implemented across the sector.
