126 Sonography Centres Sealed In Maharashtra

The Maharashtra Health Department has sealed 126 sonography outlets and de-recognised 22 pregnancy termination centres across the state over the last 10 days for violation of norms, an official said.

“We had inspected at least 2018 sonography centres and taken stern action against 126 of them. We will also file criminal cases against doctors involved in violation of the PCPNDT (Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques) Act, 1994,” Suresh Gupta, Additional Director of Family Welfare Bureau, said here.

“We have found many irregularities such as non-maintenance of records and purchase of sonography machines without renewal of registration,” he said.
