Amid the doctors' long-pending demands for a Central Protection Act to ensure the safety of healthcare workers and doctors, MP Fauzia Khan recently tabled a private member's bill in the Rajya Sabha titled The Central Protection of Healthcare Workers and Medical Establishments from Violence Bill, 2025. The Bill proposes strict penalties for offences, including imprisonment ranging from six months to ten years and fines that may extend up to ₹10 lakh, depending on the severity of violence.
