JAIPUR: Aiming to prevent sex selection tests by curbing sale of unregistered sonography machines in the state, the health department has made it compulsory for sonography dealers and manufacturers to get registered under the pre-conception pre-natal diagnostic technique (PCPNDT) Act. Earlier, registration was mandatory only for sonography centres.
So far, 19 sonography manufacturers and dealers have got registered, a PCPNDT cell official said.
The move of making the registration of dealers and manufacturers mandatory was taken to curb illegal sale of sonography machines. “We have found illegal sonography machines used in sex selection tests during decoy operations. Now, making registration compulsory for dealers and manufacturers will prevent sale of unregistered machines,” the official said.
