Madras High Court Upholds Doctors Bond Agreement

4 May 2024

Context

Ruling by the Madras HC:

  • Obligation to Serve Underprivileged: The Court asserted that individuals who received their education at the expense of the underprivileged are not entitled to seek exemption from serving them in government hospitals. 
  • Against Medical Ethics: The prime object of the medical profession is to render service to humanity. 
    • Denial of treatment to poor patients in government hospitals despite agreeing to the same, under the bond, goes against the ethos of medical ethics.
