NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday formed a 10-member National Task Force to make a blueprint for the safety and facility of healthcare workers at their workplace.
While hearing the suo motu case on the rape and murder case of a young trainee doctor in Kolkata, the apex court directed the task force to submit an interim report within three weeks and a final report within two months.
The task force includes Arti Sarin – DG Medical Services (Navy), D Nageshwar Reddy, M Srinivas, Pratima Murthy, Goverdhan D Puri, Saumitra Rawat, Prof Anita Saxena, Pallavi Saple, and Padma Srivastava.
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud observed, “The Kolkata incident raises safety issues of doctors across the country.”
“We are deeply concerned about the fact that the name, photo and video clip of the Kolkata rape victim were published all over India. The law prohibits publishing victims’ names,” the CJI said.
Meanwhile, the FAIMA Doctors Association welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision to set up a National Task Force. FAIMA requested the court to include representation from interns, resident doctors as well as faculties along with government officials.
