Healthcare Federation of India (NATHEALTH) has said that the “Right to Health”Bill passed by Rajasthan government last week raises significant questions that weigh in on private providers around operational viability, financial sustainability and patient privacy. The healthcare industry body also expressed fears of increased legal and criminal cases that could be lodged against doctors as a result of the new law.
“We sincerely request the Rajasthan Government to put this bill on abeyance till a consensus is achieved and an operational framework is established,” Dr. Ashutosh Raghuvanshi, President, NATHEALTH and managing director and CEO of Fortis Healthcare said.
