The cases of violence against doctors by the kith and kin of patients are on the rise. The numbers are alarming and it is the repeated violation of a healthy patient-doctor relationship that calls for the need to frame laws supervising this.

Let’s first understand the very issue. What is it that we are talking about?

It has been noted in several regions of the country that patients or their attendants directly attack on Doctors when some misunderstanding or disagreement arises. It is nothing but the growing mistrust of patients and their family members.


This not only keeps the doctors life and respect at stalk but also become a big challenge for them to do their jobs as doctors.

What are the reasons?

  • Patient’s demise.
  • Disagreement over hospital bills.
  • Dissatisfaction with services.
  • Re-occurrence of illness or disease.

Why it is not justified?

Answering for point number one, death is a certainty of life. Even though doctors try their best to save their patients, sometimes things are out of their hands. Going to a doctor doesn’t guarantee life but the best possible effort by the medical professional.

We, at Bansal Global Hospital, also emphasis over best treatment of our patients but there is no hospital in the world which can guarantee life. Now, let’s discuss the issue of hospital bills or dissatisfaction with services. A hospital spends a lot to bring the latest technology within your reach and hence, charges you accordingly.

In spite of that, of you feel the charges aren’t justified or you aren’t satisfied with the services, there is a proper channel to complaint. In no way it is justified to attack a doctor or his property.

Conclusion

Given that a good part of the population is unable to generally grasp this concept, there is a need to frame a concrete law against patients and their attendants who try to damage the doctor’s property or to attack him directly.

As a conclusion, any damage or act of violence against Medical Professionals should be punishable by law to ensure a healthy Medicare industry in the country.
