Decriminalising Negligence: Punishment for Doctors on Medical Negligence Cases | News9 Plus Show

Описание: Acting on an appeal by IMA, the government passed a bill and lowered the punishment for doctors on medical negligence cases. Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed Parliament that doctors have been excluded from criminal prosecution in case of death caused due to medical negligence. Criminal Negligence is a very bothersome and painful point for the medical fraternity. Currently, criminal negligence is dealt under IPC 304 A, which is causing death due to negligence. As per IPC 304 A, whoever causes the death of any person by doing any rash or negligent act not amounting to culpable homicide, shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.

What will be the impact and should the docs not be held accountable ?
