status of implementation of PC & PNDT ACT in Surat district.
We hereby notify you following points which were found by our effort in implementation of

book copy and users name and registration details.
4. F form zerox copy checked and found many discrepancies in maximum of form we

attached with form and thumb impression with some government issued
residential or identity zerox copy with form. No referral doctors slip copy given

x Many doctors have two or more clinic branches and many have their
sonography machine more than one and few are working individually and
have more sonography centers and there is no time fixed or registered at
what time registered doctors/concern radiologist shall use such sonography
 machines. And there is a possibility to mis-use of such machine because of
one doctors and many center so strict visits to such center must be carried
out stimantiously to found miss-use of machines .there is no detail mentioned
in registration form of doctor, hospital, ultra sonography center regarding nos
of machine they have and are using even not mentioned mobile units with
vehicles.
x Many doctors, hospitals and ultra sound sonography center and mobile units
