G S Virdi
Right
to Emergency Care:
Date Of Judgment:
23/02/2007.
Case No.: Appeal
(civil) 919 of 2007.
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.Please not only go
ahead and forward, use it too!!!!
With best regards.
