Regarding Road accidents???????

Right to Emergency Care:

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. In case you
are a bystander and wish to help someone in an accident, please go ahead
and do so. Your responsibility ends as soon as you leave the person at the
hospital. The hospital bears the responsibility of informing the 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.
