Allahabad High Court Directs UP Government to Strengthen Medical Facilities and Prevent Patient Transfers
The Allahabad High Court has directed the Uttar Pradesh government to develop a detailed roadmap with timelines to enhance medical facilities in newly opened medical colleges. This follows a PIL concerning the death of a newborn who was transferred between multiple hospitals for treatment. The court emphasized decentralizing healthcare, improving infrastructure including special and super-speciality services, and ensuring budget allocation does not hinder medical care. The next hearing is scheduled for October 1, with officials and doctors to participate via video conferencing.
