The court’s Chief Justice emphasized, 'Protecting safety of doctors and women doctors is a matter of national interest and principle of equality.' This underscores the urgency for systemic changes to safeguard medical professionals.
Following widespread protests and demands for justice, the Supreme Court has mandated federal paramilitary forces to secure the hospital where the tragic incident occurred, demonstrating an urgent need to restore safety within healthcare settings.
With protests erupting across the nation, the Supreme Court has urged doctors to return to work while highlighting that the government must take immediate action to prevent further violence and ensure the protection of healthcare workers.
