Amit Shah: Doctors will get legal shield in cases of medical negligence

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 20 December 2023
Union home minister Amit Shah announced that the criminal law bill has been amended to provide relief to medical professionals in cases of death caused by alleged medical negligence. Currently, such cases are treated as criminal negligence, but the proposed amendment aims to free doctors from this liability. The Indian Medical Association had requested for this exemption, and the move has been welcomed by the medical community. Decriminalizing medical negligence would allow doctors to make bold treatment decisions and save lives without fear of prosecution.
