Issuer: Sindh Healthcare Commission (SHCC). All healthcare service providers operating in the Province of Sindh — including medical doctors, Tabibs, homeopathic practitioners, allied health professionals and all healthcare establishments (HCEs) — must register and obtain licensing under the SHCC Act, 2013 (Sections 13, 14 and 15).

Purpose: To enforce mandatory registration and licensing of every healthcare facility. No person or organization may lawfully provide healthcare services through a facility that has not been duly registered and licensed by the Sindh Healthcare Commission.

Action required: All unregistered healthcare establishments must initiate and complete the registration process and prescribed licensing procedures by the deadline. Establishments already registered with SHCC must immediately begin the licensing process and ensure compliance with applicable standards, requirements and procedures. Non-compliance may lead to penalties and/or closure of the healthcare establishment.
