Performing Hysterectomies in India: Here is what SC mandated GOI guidelines say

The issue of unwanted hysterectomies has been highlighted in various medico-legal cases pending from lower courts to the Supreme Court. Recently, while disposing of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on this matter, the Supreme Court passed a judgment strictly asking for the implementation of the guidelines released by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
