IMA CWC news:28-5-13.

IMA is in favor of permitting individuals/groups , by giving only the moral support , to fight judicially against B.Sc community medicine course.
IMA is in favor of establishing “Medical Tribunal” to solve the medico-legal cases in place of CPA act. More and more number of cases against doctors are filing year by year in courts and  the percentage of decisions against doctors are also  increasing enormously.
IMA opines that the Indian medical fraternity never fears about medico legal hassles and facing the consequences of trials in court. What the fraternity wishes is quick disposal of cases and preventing mechanism for frivolous cases.
1.       The Medical tribunal can be a remedy for this burning nagging  issue by solving the cases on fast track mode and thus prevent the prolonged dragging of cases in courts, thus alleviating the mental tension and precious time of both the doctors and the complainants.
2.       The  cross opinion and the demands of  doctors are-
             A.cap  on  compensation  claims and
      B.   increasing  penalty  for  frivolous  cases and
      C. the death of doctor should  end the case against the estate of the doctor .
