Supreme Court Rebukes Yatharth Hospital Over EWS Emergency Care SOP Compliance
The Supreme Court reprimanded Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital for not responding to a contempt notice regarding the preparation of a standard operating procedure (SOP) for emergency medical care to economically weaker section (EWS) patients. The court found the hospital's claim of not receiving notice false and initiated contempt proceedings. Only 12 of 52 hospitals participated in consultations on the revised SOP, which was filed as directed. The court scheduled the next hearing for September 30, relating to a 2018 ruling mandating free treatment quotas for EWS patients in hospitals receiving concessional land.
