Doctors, medical associations, hospitals, lawyers, judges, regulators, policy makers are part of this initiative
India is witnessing a sharp rise in cases of medical negligence in courts along with cases of violence against doctors and hospitals. These indicate a systemic failure and breakdown of trust between doctors and patients. A soft regulatory framework, unrealistically high expectations of patients, and the peculiar socio-economic character of the nation further compound the issue. And this does not augur well for a developing country like India.
Some of the key causes include a lack of dialogue between the doctor community, hospitals, legal professionals, and policy makers. This makes it imperative for doctors, medical associations, and hospitals to come together to identify and discuss the legal issues relating to medicine and to find practical and legally appropriate solutions. Policy makers need to be updated about these contentious issues and the changes required in the legal and regulatory framework.
Institute of Medicine & Law (IML) is will be organising ‘National Convention on Medicine & Law 2020’ on July 5, 2020. NCML is an endeavour to identify the legal issues relating to medicine, discuss them threadbare, and suggest remedial measures. Important doctors, medical associations, hospitals, lawyers, judges, editors, academicians, and policy makers will be a part of this National Convention.
