The Karnataka Private Medical Establishments Act was passed in 2007 to "to bring a comprehensive legislation in place of the Karnataka Private Nursing Home (Regulation) Act, 1976" that will be the legal control over private medical establishments (PMEs) in the State. Among other things, the Bill made the registration of PMEs mandatory and laid down guidelines to ensure their quality.
Hence to protect the interests of people as well as doctors maintaining ethical standards, government introduced an amendment to original K.P.M.E Act., which aims to regulate private medical establishments to tackle the challenge of information asymmetry and to make healthcare market patients centric.
