READ the new rule implemented by Supreme Court and be aware Right to Emergency Care: 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. SO FOLKS …..Here after don’t hesitate to help the victims of an accident incase if u encounter…raise Ur helping hands …..
Hi Honeytha, It's very good rule. Hope many of them will come forward to help the injured person(s). Thanks for letting us know about this rule.
Thanks Honey, for the useful information. If the purpose is fully met, then only it is a victory to it and to the mankind. Sriniketan
That is good news!...Reminds me of the scene in the Shankar movie 'Anniyan' where Vikram pleads with the public to help an accident victim. It is so true that our people hesitate to help because of fear that they might get involved unnecessarily in a police case.I hope that the general public get to know of this rule at the earliest so that they will not think twice before helping a victim.
