Abstract

Consumer’s Protection Act (CPA) has created great stir amongst the medical professionals on the ground that it would be extensively damaging to the profession and the public service. Though there are many counter arguments of these feelings of the doctors in profession, it can be said that the Act if ultimately keeps medical service under its purview, then must be enforced with full precaution. Let the profession utilize CPA as a challenge to increase the standard of medical care in general and make the government realize its responsibilities like improving the facilities in the government hospitals, reduce patient congestion, etc.
