Patients' Rights for Doctors and Hospitals
Ten rights your patients may ask you about, set out one by one: what the patient may ask for, what the law and the national charter say, and what to keep on file. All India, with the Maharashtra nursing home rules in full. Every point is tagged by whom it binds, and the guide ends with a reception display and process checklist.
What Indian law forbids every health advertiser
For anyone who advertises health, of any system, and anyone who reads a health advertisement. The 54 diseases a drug or remedy advertisement may not offer to treat, claims of miraculous powers, the words that need proof, testimonials and influencers, who answers, and how to report. It says nothing about whether any therapy may lawfully be practised.
What the law says, and what is still open
For BHMS doctors in Maharashtra, and hospitals that employ them. What the 2014 amendments say about the Certificate Course in Modern Pharmacology, what the Bombay High Court has said so far in the case still pending before it, which questions are open, and how to check the position yourself. Dated: it says nothing on whether any doctor may or may not prescribe modern medicine.
These guides explain the law in general terms for learning. They are not advice on any particular patient, bill or complaint. State laws differ and change: check your own State's current law.
