The Assam government today moved a bill to make emergency treatment free for the first 24 hours in all hospitals, including private ones and nursing homes.
Health minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the bill was the first step towards making healthcare a fundamental right and hoped that it would “revolutionise the health sector in the state”.
He said under the Assam Public Health Bill, 2010, all hospitals or health establishments would have to provide free healthcare to an emergency patient of any kind for the first 24 hours.
