This article elaborates on the registration requirements and process of the EC registry with the necessity of being registered with the DHR. 2100 login requests and more than 1560 applications for registration have been received; private hospitals and medical colleges have been the front-runner in getting their organization registered, and organizations in the commercial sector are faring better in terms of EC registration. Further dissemination and outreach efforts have to be made to draw the attention of various stakeholders regarding this requirement and thereby ensuring that all ECs in the country are registered with the DHR.
