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 …..

This was already posted in this Forum several months ago.

But ironically, the importance of this has not reached the common man, as a week after this ruling, 2 motorist died in mumbai where they were knocked down from their bike and no one stopped to help them. That too, in broad daylight. The worst part is that, a policemen stopped several vehicles asking them to help the injured get to the hospital and no one stopped and one of the vehicles was a POLICE patrol jeep!!
