Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao announced this decision after a meeting with medical organizations and health department officials at Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru. The task force is charged with reviewing and recommending safety measures for doctors within a month, including legal protections. Rao underscored the government's commitment to safeguarding medical professionals, particularly women, in the state. The move aims to address growing concerns about the security of healthcare workers.
