JAIPUR: The Rajasthan government is moving quickly in the direction of the 'Right to Health,' said Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, who urged the concerned officials to finalise the plan as soon as possible.
The Rajasthan government drafted a draught bill for the country's first Right to Health law in January this year, which defines the rights of patients, their attendants, and healthcare providers, and process to handle stakeholder issues.
In the interest of the patients, all necessary provisions should be incorporated in this draught, Gehlot remarked at a health department review meeting held at his official residence here. Gehlot was also charged with ensuring the success of the 'Mukhyamantri Nishulk Nirogi Rajasthan Yojana' (Chief Minister's Free Healthy Rajasthan Scheme) on the ground.
This programme began on April 1 with the goal of relieving residents of the state of the financial strains suffered as a result of high treatment costs.
"Our government has launched an innovative programme to provide free treatment and testing services to the people of the state in OPDs and IPDs," Gehlot added. According to the Chief Minister, health department officials, doctors, and the nursing community should prepare to make this scheme a success by working together in the spirit of service and ensuring that patients do not face any obstacles in receiving free treatment.
