HealthPhoto: Hindustan TimesKarnataka Plans Law Against Private Hospitals Withholding Bodies
Karnataka is considering a new law to allow legal action against private hospitals that withhold bodies of deceased patients over unpaid medical bills, said Health Minister U T Khader. The law aims to stop hospitals from making payment a condition for releasing bodies. The government will consult hospital associations before finalizing the changes to address shortcomings in rules from 2007 and 2018.
