<<<<<<<<<<<Right to Emergency Care>>>>>>>>>

[codred]

The Supreme Court has ruled that all injured persons especially in the
case of road traffic accidents, assaults, etc., when brought to a
hospital / medical centre, have to be offered first aid, stabilized and
shifted to a higher centre / government centre if required.
It is only after this that the hospital can demand payment or complete
police formalities.
In case you are a bystander and wish to help someone in an accident,
please go ahead and do so.

Your responsibility ends as soon as you leave the person at the
hospital. The hospital bears the responsibility of informing the police,
first aid, etc.

Please do inform your family and friends about these basic rights so
that we all know what to expect and what to do in the hour of need.

[SunnyChahal]

but wil the hospital guyz follow these rulez?

 

[Ankur Gupta]

We need many such measures to be able to call a developed country..
very good move by the SC..

 

[SunnyChahal]

a developed country with not more than UPTO 2mbps net in homes.
come on UK has 24 mbps unlimited plans for the same rates as our 2mbps NU plans.
still this measure will help a lot to the injured people.
at least they wont die due to lack of money.

A video camera and a lawer should get them going, definitely.

And Internet is the least of all basic requirements to be met first for being a developed country. It doesn't even count much really!

hospital authorities dont have an option to not follow it.... police will make sure they do.

Dude, not every thing in this world is corrup. There are still things on the good side.
I believe judiciary is one, they do work for the benefit of the people.
