Right To Health Bill: Rajasthan Govt And Doctors Reach "Consensus", Says CM Gehlot

In the most recent tweet, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that the state government and the doctors who were protesting the Right to Health Bill have reached a "consensus."

The minister declared: I'm happy that the government and doctors have finally agreed on the Right to Health, and that Rajasthan is now the first state in the country to use the Right to Health Bill. I hope that the relationship between doctor and patient will remain the same in the future."

On Monday, the Rajasthan government and the doctors who were protesting the controversial bill reportedly did not reach a conclusion. In an effort to find a middle ground between the two sides, the six doctors, led by Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes Society secretary Vijay Kapoor, met with state government officials. The bill that was approved by the Rajasthan state assembly on March 28 is being challenged by private doctors in the state.

According to reports, a massive rally, similar to the one on March 27, was anticipated for Tuesday. Dr. Vijay Kapoor, Secretary of the Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes Society, stated, "The kind of rally that was held on March 27 will also be held on Tuesday." Our protest will continue until this bill is withdrawn by the government.

The Right to Wellbeing Bill was postponed in Rajasthan Gathering last year in September 2022 and it means to give free and reasonable clinical benefits in both public as well as confidential medical clinics, research facilities and centers.
