not taught elaborately in their respective curricula, but are essential for
day-to-day practice.
According to Dr Neeta Bhatia, academic coordinator, Symbiosis Institute of Health
Sciences, "The Consumer Protection Act and its applicability to the noble
profession has transformed the delicate relationship between doctor and patient
into that of a buyer and a seller. Medical negligence cases are fairly common
today. Both patients as well as doctors seek to interpret the law to their own
selfish advantage with a resultant dilution of the very philosophy and spirit
in which the law was formulated and meant to be implemented. This has necessitated
the need to acquire the knowledge of laws appropriate to the medical profession
on the part of medical practitioners as also the lawyers who need to have their
facts in place when dealing with Medical Negligence cases," she added.
Among the institutions which have understood the need for
professionally trained managers and law savvy doctors in this changing healthcare
industry by imparting training to aspiring health care professionals, is the
Symbiosis Institute of Health Sciences, she added.
