Delhi: Taking cognizance of the increasing instances of violence against healthcare professionals, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has urged the government to enact a central law with IPC sections fixing the responsible officers to investigate, time frame for investigation and punishments to the culprits, as early as possible, without the option for bail.
The association pointed out that though there are existing laws for violence against healthcare workers, there is ambiguity in recognizing which section to file the case under and hence very often the culprits go scot-free.
