The Islamabad Healthcare Regulatory Authority (IHRA) has sealed three Healthcare Establishments (HCEs) in different areas of the Capital Territory.

According to IHRA, the authority’s inspection teams carried out inspections of 42 Healthcare Establishments (HCEs) in different areas of the Capital Territory during the past two weeks.

Zahir Khan Clinic, Maryam Clinic and Al-Barka Medical Centre were sealed due to malpractices like the absence of qualified medical staff, unhygienic conditions, not getting registration with IHRA and functioning during the suspension, the state news agency reported.

IHRA suspended the services of two Healthcare Establishments (HCEs) over different medical non-compliance. Right Ways Rehab Center and Grow Hair Transplant and Skin Care Clinic were also suspended.

Similarly, 25 Healthcare Establishments were served notices for minor non-compliances and instructed to comply with the directions given by the inspection team. 12 HCEs were found closed upon arrival by the inspection teams.
