Supreme Court Orders Delhi Hospital to Provide Full Free Treatment to Acid Attack Survivor
The Supreme Court directed Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital to provide full, free treatment to an acid attack survivor until she is fit for discharge. The victim, attacked in Bhajanpura on October 6, suffered severe burns and was reportedly asked to seek treatment elsewhere due to lack of a dedicated burn ward. Citing the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the court emphasized hospitals must offer immediate free care to acid attack victims and ordered the hospital to cover all treatment costs.
