The Supreme Court has proposed creating a national task force to develop safety guidelines for doctors across India. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud highlighted the need for better protection, noting that doctors work around the clock in hospitals and often face abuse from patients and their families. This proposal follows the recent rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, which has sparked widespread protests and concerns about the safety of healthcare professionals. The task force would aim to address these issues and enhance the security of medical staff nationwide.
