Over the past many years, guidelines have become an increasingly important tool to maintain and enhance appropriate practices, cost-effectiveness, uniformity in action across the country’s length, and helping the authorities decide on the approval of standard operating procedures. Any guidelines, developed with an unquestionable decision-making process helps to optimize care outcomes and discourage the performance of ineffective or alarming practices. Guidelines developed from a systematic review of the evidence addresses gaps and provides evidence thus helping in the prioritization of best practices and future research. Guidelines can help avoid inefficiencies and optimise the value of expenditures by identifying unnecessary or unduly expensive practices.

Standard Body Art Guidelines cover

Body Art Practice Guideline

India has made remarkable progress in controlling the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, one sector that remains unrecognized as a potential source of the spread of these infections is the body art industry, including skin piercing and tattooing procedures. The absence of regulations or guidelines for practicing this art form in India has led to a low perception of risk, limited susceptibility, and a lack of awareness among tattoo artists. Today, the Indian tattoo industry is valued at ₹20,000 crores. Despite being a rapidly growing sector, it remains largely unorganized. To encourage self-regulation and benefit both providers and users of body piercing art, Health Parliament has developed the Standard Body Piercing Practice- Draft Guidelines.

Women’s Health Guideline

Women make up half of the world’s population and play a vital role in creating and nurturing the next generation. While women take care of their entire families, they often neglect their own health. Many delay visiting a doctor for timely checkups, typically considering it an option only when an ailment becomes unbearable or untreatable at home. This mindset needs to change. We believe that women should have access to the basic information required to make informed decisions about health screenings or visiting a clinician for timely and appropriate intervention. These guidelines were developed through field-level studies conducted with women across India and in consultation with leading multidisciplinary experts. You can download the report from the Health Parliament mobile app.

Care Homes and Home Care Guideline

Our visits to care homes revealed a stark disparity in the quality of services provided. While some facilities deliver care that rivals the best in the world, others function as "business establishments" under the guise of care homes or de-addiction centers, exploiting vulnerable individuals who rely on these services. In particular, some centers catering to the elderly and those with mental illnesses lack essential medical staff, such as nurses or qualified healthcare workers. These facilities often house 40–50 residents, charge exorbitant fees, and force families to pay as they are unable to care for their loved ones at home. The purpose of this guideline is to offer recommendations across various aspects of care delivery in both care homes and home care settings, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the quality of services provided by these facilities.
