Key Highlights of the NCAHP Act

The Act brings over 50 types of healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists, nutritionists, optometrists, and lab technicians, under a single regulatory body to oversee their training, ethical standards, and professional practices. The establishment of the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions, under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, has been a vital step toward providing structured, transparent governance.  

With the NCAHP Act, all allied healthcare professionals must register with a central or state council, ensuring a recognized standard for education and practice across India. This effort is intended to elevate the quality of patient care and ensure professional accountability. For healthcare institutions, this Act provides a database of certified practitioners, facilitating recruitment and quality control.

The Act outlines each profession's scope, including responsibilities and authorized procedures. This clarification helps avoid role overlap in clinical settings, improving the efficiency of healthcare delivery. Training institutions are also required to adhere to standardized curricula and periodic audits, ensuring a workforce equipped with current knowledge and skills.

The NCAHP Act is a historic step to enhance allied healthcare services in India. It recognizes the contribution of allied healthcare professionals and aims to integrate them more effectively into our healthcare system.

Professionals like physiotherapists, lab technicians, and dieticians are expected to benefit significantly from the NCAHP Act as it facilitates professional recognition and a structured career path. The Act also encourages research and development within these professions, aligning India’s healthcare sector with international standards.

The NCAHP Act signals a transformative era for healthcare, with standardized practices, increased accountability, and improved patient outcomes set to reshape allied healthcare services across the nation.
