JAIPUR: The two-day statelevel consultation of health rights activists on proposed ‘Right to
Healthcare
’ Act, which concluded here on Thursday, has demanded implementation of the Act as soon as possible.
The consultation, in which 85 activists took part, was held under
Jan Swasthya Abhiyan (
JSA) which demanded that the state government bring about a strong Right to Healthcare Act on the basis of the draft already provided by the Abhiyan to the government.
JSA office bearers said the state government had announced to enact the Right to Healthcare Act in
Rajasthan in its election political manifesto, which was also accepted as a policy document of the Rajasthan government.
As soon as the government was formed, a detailed draft of the Right to Healthcare Bill was prepared by JSA and shared with the government.
However, even after more than two years, not much progress has been made in this direction.
