State to introduce bill on Medical Care

The state government will introduce, in the forthcoming budget session, a bill on emergency medical services with an aim to extend unrestrained medical care to patients unescorted by relatives. The bill seeks to make it mandatory for all private hospitals to admit and treat victims of accidents, natural calamities or terror attacks.

The new bill makes a provision for punishment and penalties for hospitals not abiding by the directives on treatment of patients during any emergency.

Hatts off for Bhushan Gagrani, secretary for medical education and drug department (MEDD).
