The recent announcement of the Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya that the Government is not enacting separate legislation to prohibit violence against doctors and other healthcare professionals seems to have left the medical fraternity disappointed.

With the Central Government washing off its hand, now it is up to the States to ensure protection for doctors and other healthcare workers from violence at their workplace.

Violence against doctors and healthcare workers has been one of the most important and unsolved issues of the medical fraternity. Numerous incidents of violence have been reported over the years.
