However implementation is a major problem in this country. Constant pressure is required to ensure implemetation. We are still in the first stage : informing the public. The second stage of Public demanding action as per laws is yet to happen.Action initiated against a defaulter hospital is yet a long way off. Will keep all informed of progress or otherwise. regads, colrama Dear Anjali,

Is this a law that is now country wide, and well known by the public? Are hospitals prepared to take care of people? Are they complying with this law? We have a law in the united states called EMTALA which requires that people in emergency situations be at least stabilized by ANY hospital they go to. it's such a safety net and important piece of legislation. i did some medical work in chiapas, mexico (the southern most state of mexico, and one with many indigenous people), and the hospitals in mexico can turn anyone away. A patient with a big bleed in his head was taken by truck from the hospital i worked at in chiapas (which didn't have enough resources to treat him) to a bigger hospital with more technology, and he was TURNED AWAY. I cried hearing that story. This looks like a great move in the right direction. I'd love to read more about if you post more (or email me details). thanks, Anjali Cure This -- http://www.curethis.org So did this pass just this year?
