STANDARDS AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LICENSURE AND REGULATION OF AMBULATORY SURGICAL CLINICS



In November 2004, the Department of Health(DOH) issued Administrative Order No. 183, s. 2004 "Rules and Regulations Governing the Licensure and Regulation of Ambulatory Surgical Clinics".

The Regulatory Officers of the BHFS and the Centers for Health Development shall use the said Inspection Tool in the licensure and regulation of ambulatory surgical clinics.

The Inspection Tool shall be made available to the general public by posting in the DOH official website (www.doh.gov.ph).

This Circular shall take effect immediately.
