IHRA Seals Illegal Healthcare Outlets
ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Sep, 2026) The Islamabad Healthcare Regulatory Authority (IHRA) has carried out sealing operations against unqualified and illegal healthcare practices in B-17, I-14 and G-8. This is part of its efforts to protect public health and enforce healthcare standards.
The enforcement action was taken on Friday against healthcare practices operating in violation of applicable regulatory requirements, as stated by the IHRA. The authority stressed that such actions are aimed at curbing quackery and substandard healthcare practices, ensuring citizens access safe and quality healthcare services.
The IHRA reiterated its commitment to taking action against illegal and unqualified healthcare practices in Islamabad, safeguarding patients and upholding prescribed healthcare standards.
Meanwhile, as part of the ongoing licensing process, the IHRA conducted a training session for the second pool of assessors. The training focused on Minimum Service Delivery Standards (MSDS) indicators and the Digital Assessment System. This equips assessors with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct standardized assessments of Healthcare Establishments (HCEs). The authority believes this training will ensure consistency, transparency, and efficiency in the assessment process as healthcare facilities undergo licensing evaluations.
Assessors will evaluate healthcare establishments against prescribed MSDS indicators, supporting IHRA’s efforts to improve compliance, quality of care, and patient safety in Islamabad.
