HCC KP clinic licensing: GP, specialist, dental, homoeopathic and matab
Clinics in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are healthcare establishments under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Care Commission. HCC KP publishes Minimum Service Delivery Standards (MSDS) for each type of clinic; some newer editions are titled Service Delivery Standards (SDS). NORTH helps clinics meet them without unnecessary paperwork.
Standards for each type of clinic
| Clinic type | Official HCC KP standards |
|---|---|
| GP and specialist clinics | SDS for GP and Specialist Clinics, 2nd Edition |
| Dental clinics | MSDS for Dental Clinics |
| Homoeopathic clinics | SDS for Homoeopathic Clinics, 2nd Edition |
| Matab (Tibb clinics) | MSDS for Matab |
| Basic Health Units | MSDS for BHUs |
What a clinic usually needs
- HCC KP registration completed and the right standards identified
- Practitioner and staff qualification and registration records
- Patient rights, consent and complaint arrangements
- Patient records kept to the standard
- Infection control, sterilisation and healthcare waste management
- Emergency arrangements, fire safety and equipment upkeep
- Medicine storage and handling where medicines are kept
We keep it in proportion: a single-doctor clinic needs a short, practical set of documents, not a hospital manual.
How we work
- Assess. Every standard and indicator in your manual scored against the official Assessment Scoring Matrix, with a gap list and a prioritised CAPA plan.
- Build. Policies, SOPs, forms, logs and registers written for your facility, numbered to your indicators, in English and native Urdu where patients need it.
- Train. Committees formed, agendas and minutes kept, staff trained with calendars, attendance and pre/post tests on file.
- Rehearse. A full mock survey, staff interview drills and our team beside yours on survey day.
- Sustain. Internal audits, refresher training, CAPA closure and formal replies to any HCC KP notice.

Questions
How do I get an HCC licence for my clinic?
Register the clinic with HCC KP, identify the standards for your clinic type, implement them, and pass HCC KP assessment. We help with the implementation and readiness.
Is registration the same as licensing?
No. Registration is online desk work. Licensing means implementing the standards and passing assessment.
