There can be a debate on how individual aspects of medical services are best regulated, but laying down standards, containing treatment costs, mandating transparency and creating a binding charter that empowers patients are all basic components of healthcare reform. The State government has wisely dropped the clause on imprisonment for medical negligence in the final draft of the amendment Bill, avoiding a possible delay in broadening the scope of the Karnataka Private Medical Establishments Act, 2007. There is a need, of course, to ensure parity in services offered by government and private institutions, and end the neglect of public facilities especially in rural areas. The transition to universal health access, provided free at the point of del...
