Supreme Court's Call for Price Controls in Indian Hospitals
The Supreme Court in India has mandated that all hospitals in the country must list predetermined price payments for medical treatments to ensure uniformity nationwide. This decision stems from a public interest litigation filed by an NGO highlighting the government's inertia in implementing the Clinical Establishment Act, which aimed to regulate healthcare standards and combat medical inflation. The Act required the government to set standard rates for medical procedures across hospitals to address the unaffordability of treatments for many Indians. This move has sparked concerns within the private healthcare industry due to the potential impact on profit margins.
