Violence against medical practitioners: Karnataka HC seeks Govt report on steps taken to ensure doctors' safety
Advertisement
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Thursday directed the State government to file a response mentioning measures taken to ensure the safety of the medical practitioners from attacks of the patient parties.
The PIL also sought the appointment of a joint expert committee that will be responsible for attending to the grievances of doctors.
This came while a division bench of Chief Justice Abhay Oka and Justice NS Sanjay Gowda was hearing a PIL filed by Vinod G. Kulkarni, a neuropsychiatric. The petitioner pointed out that though doctors keep on living their promise of serving a patient unconditionally, the petitioner submitted that the incidences of attacks on medical professionals by the family members of patients have increased during the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
