VISAKHAPATNAM : Inspections were conducted at various private diagnostics centres in the zilla Parishad Junction area here on Friday. 


During the inspection, the District and Medical and Health officers team seized Vinis Laboratory for ignoring repeated notices issued by authorities.   


DM&HO J Sarojini issued a postal notice to the lab for not having any registration, but the latter did not respond. Another notice was issued by hand on February 22.


“We told them to register their lab, but they did not pay heed. As the lab has many reports of the patients pending, we gave some time too. But, they failed to register, so we had to seize the lab,” said Sarojini. 


There are around 100 labs which need minor repair works and changes in the equipment and around 20 more are yet to be registered, Sarojini said, quoting the reports submitted by the routine check-up team. 
“We inspect all labs, clinics and nursing homes all through the year. Once a notice is issued, they need to respond immediately,” she added.
