How to Safeguard Against Litigations and Consumer Cases during the Medical Practice?
Medical professionals are now accountable to the public under the Consumer Protection Act (COPRA), 1986, which came into force in 1988. The act recognizes a consumer's right to safety, information, choice, redressal, consumer education and to be heard. The inclusion of medical services under COPRA has evoked scathing criticism from the medical professionals, which argues doctors will have to practice "Defensive Medicine" while treating/operating patients, and undertake multiple consultations. Medical professionals will also be forced to insure themselves heavily against malpractice suits.
