After more than two weeks of intense protests by private and a few government doctors over the Right to Health (RTH) Bill in Rajasthan, they reached an agreement with the state government, especially over private hospitals covered under the Bill, and called off their protests Tuesday.
Announcing an end to the protests, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said, “I am happy that finally an agreement has been reached between the government and the doctors on Right to Health and Rajasthan has become the first state in the country to implement Right to Health. I hope that the doctor-patient relationship will remain the same in future as well. #RightToHealth”.
