Is there a need for a Central law to address crimes against health workers in India
The National Task Force submits a report in the Supreme Court regarding crimes against health workers in the country.
- Central law is needed to provide uniformity and stronger deterrent against crimes targeting health workers in India.
- A specific law can ensure timely and effective action against those committing violence or harassment towards health workers.
- It can help in creating a safer work environment for health professionals, ultimately leading to better healthcare services for the public.
- The law can establish clear guidelines and penalties to protect health workers from physical and verbal abuse, discrimination, and intimidation.
- Having a dedicated legislation will also send a strong message that such crimes are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
