Right to Emergency Care - Supreme Court Ruling.

Date Of Judgment: 23/02/2007.

Case No.: Appeal (civil) 919 of 2007.

The Supreme Court has ruled that all injured persons especially in
the case of road traffic accidents, assaults, etc., when brought to
a hospital / medical centre, have to be offered first aid,
stabilized and shifted to a higher centre / government centre if
required.

It is only after this that the hospital can demand payment or
complete police formalities.

police, first aid, etc.

Please do inform your family and friends about these basic rights so
that we all know what to expect and what to do in the hour of need.
