The Bihar state government on 16 July 2011 cleared a bill named Bihar Chikitsa Seva Sansthan Aur Vyakti Surakha Vidheyak 2011 which would ensure doctors’ safety at their work places. That was a much needed relief to the medical profession. The bill provides that any attack on doctors and medical staff would be taken as serious offence. If any damage is done to public property, the offender would be made to compensate.
Government doctors had long been demanding such a Bill because of increasing incidents of attacks on them by relatives of patients.
The State Cabinet also approved Clinic Ki Sthapana (Nibandhan aur Niyaman) Vidheyak 2011, making registration for private clinics mandatory.
