SC pulls up Centre over rising disparity in pvt-govt medical expenses, says "act or we will implement CGHS rates"

By Economic Times - 9 months ago
The Supreme Court criticized the Indian government for the stark contrast in medical costs between public and private facilities, citing citizens' fundamental right to healthcare. The court urged the Centre to implement 14-year-old rules establishing standard rates for treatments in consultation with states. If a resolution isn't found, the court warned of considering the petitioner's plea to enforce CGHS-prescribed standardized rates.
