Supreme Court bans Assam diploma doctors to treat specified diseases, perform minor procedures
Overview
Observing that the Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority Act, 2004 lacked necessary competence, the Supreme Court on Tuesday set it aside. The concerned state law allowed the diploma holders in Medicine and Rural Health Care for treating certain common diseases, perform minor procedures, and prescribe certain drugs.
Earlier back in 2014, the Gauhati High Court had also declared the Act to be unconstitutional and ultra vires and referring to this, a division bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and B.V. Naharathna observed, “The Assam Act seeks to regulate such aspects of medical education [that are within the exclusive domain of the Parliament], and is liable to be set aside on the grounds that the state legislature lacks the necessary competence.”
