General overview: The KHSDP became effective on June 27, 1996. The project
could not make considerable financial progress during the year 1996-97 as there was not much of
preparation. However, during the year 1997-98, as all the preparatory activities were completed
and the project has been making a steady progress. The project activities have been reviewed by
the World Bank Supervision Missions during March 1997, November 1997, May 1998 and
November 1998

PROFESSOR OF ORTHOPAEDICS

BANGALORE.
In taking tins topic for todays consideration in Hying to speak to you, the medical
o icers who are working in rural areas in heating Orthopaedic emergencies, I have taken
U0'1Mf|'''Cae'e fnC'litie5 that !lle P,esent in r"rf’1
lo give treatment in
oi mg fiist aid foi Oi tlu opacdic emergencies.

situation is that, patient is accompanied by' innumerable friends or relatives,
who
accompany the patient with anguish, agony, sometimes aggressiveness and some times even
with amazement to see what dramatic treatment youwill give to the patient to save the life
and treat the fracture.
I have also taken into consideration, how do the injured patient comes to the referral
lospital, even with minimum lack of attention to the injured part which would have made a
aige and substantial difference in saving tlie life of the patient and also in preventing the
^^L^L’O'’JM1v2|I.a'ise because of such lapse either at the place of accident or at the
neatest health centre wlicre-tliOccidentJias takcii placers.----- •—
In speaking so, I have also taken into consideration about the injured patient who
comes all the way from his village to a medical college hospital in a crowed and
ncomfoi table inode of transport with pain and agony accompanied by family members and
bus depuymg the earning capacity of tire family members who accompany the patient just
01 a simple treatment for condition like fracture clavicle, recurrent shoulder dislocation and
so on which can be easily treated in a rural set up in alleviating pain and restoring comfort to

It has been our observation that many patient who come to us with such simple
mctuie crowed our out patient , disrupting our attention from the crictically injured who
certainly deserve our attention in (he medical college hospital.
hi speaking so, I have also taken into consdieration what is know as ‘Ciohlcn I lour’ in
niaiiageiiig the injured. This ‘Golden Hour’ is (lie first hour of (he occuraucc of the
accident and any treatment in this first golden hour will make a lasting contribution in
saving, the hie ol (he patient and making a belter prognosis instead of just referring the
patient in major hoospital where such ‘Golden Hour’ is lost in transportation time.

conducted in an office.

Organisation of the office: There is no need to have various branches and
section in an office if the office is ven1 small. Normally an office is divided into
branches if
a) the nature of work is such that it can be clearly divided into district units
having practically little relationship with each other.
b) the branch is supervised by an officer to whom a number of duties of head
of the office can be conveniently delegated.

Each branch will be sub-dwided into a number of sections and each section
will have number of compilations. Each compilation has a definite subject to be dealt

I

with.
Duties of Head of the office

> to arrange for the speedy and smooth disposal of work
> to organise his office into suitable branch, section and compilation
(wherever necessary)
> to assign work to each case worker
> to ensure proper replies to the public
> to visit periodically the different section in his office, inspect table and
ensure that the case worker is discharging his duties efficiently.
Duties of the Head of the Branch
> to take care of most of the day-to-day work relating to his branch
> to place before head of the office such papers which statutorily require his
approval
> to be responsible for efficient management of the work

Duties of Head of the Section

community.
Prevention of Hospital Infection (3 main strategies)

1.

Exclude the source of infection .

2.

Interrupt the transmission.

3.

Enhance Hosts ability to resist infection

Guidelines for those collecting Blood of patients :

Notices on universal precautions to be displayed at strategic areas
To enforce and acknowledge the importance of repeated hand washing in various
areas of hospital e.g., OT., Wards, laboratories etc.,
Three important criteria for a good hospital - Electricity / Water / Ar (environment)

Hospital Infection Control Procedures :
1. Cover all open wounds /isolate the patient.
2. Do not mix different pre-operative cases together.
3. Autoclave all dressings.
4. Use disposable syringes / needles / boil for '/z an hour.
5. Incinerate used /soiled dressing.
6. Periodic check of OT, ICU, sick neonatal ward.
7. Thorough daily wash of the wards.
8. Restrict visitors / No slippers
9. Change of clothes before entering the O.T.,
10. Wash hands after each patient - esp. staff nurse/ Doctors.

12. Frequent change of catheters e.g., IV., urinary etc.,
13. Before and after visit to the house wash hands.
14. Use tissue paper/napkins - No common towel.
, 15. Do not carry hospital disinfectants home.
16. Repeated admissions from different hospitals breed resistant strains
17. For collecting blood use disposable sets, or autoclaved sets.
18. Indiscriminate use of antibiotics avoided.
Prevention and Precautions for HIV’ transmission :

1.

Al samples sent to be screened for HIV are treated as highly infections, as routes of
infection are mainly through blood and blood and blood products.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM IN
KARNATAKA HEALTH SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Dr. V. S. Rajamma
Deputy Director
K.H.S.D.P.

Under the Karnataka Health Systems Development Project a systematic effort is being
made to improve the functioning of Secondary Hospitals.

Making available the essential

equipment, drugs and chemicals, providing more number of qualified doctors and paramedical

staff, providing better, infrastructure in hospitals, are some of the strategies adopted to bring in
improvements in the medical care system. The Karnataka Health Systems Development Project
extends over a period of 5 years and it is expected that by the end of the project there would be a

substantial change in the quality of the medical care provided in the secondary hospitals.

The Health Systems Development Project is conscious of the existing information flow in
th? health care system. But the flow and processing pattern of information available has not been

very efficient for decision making. In order to create an effective tool for decision making, health

systems development project is planning to develop a management information system. The three
operational objectives for establishing the management systems are as follows:
1.

The management information system should lead to most efficient
use of the referral system in health care sector.

2.

It should lead to the efficient disease surveillance mechanism

3.

It should serve as an efficient tool for decision making

Deficiencies in Current Management Information System

There are some deficiencies in the information flow pattern available in the Department of

Health & Family Welfare :


Information for Decision making is never available in time



Information is not organised in the right form for decision making



Enough information is not available
1



A constant view of different aspects is ne^er available, some of the
reports never received from the hospitals



Too many reports

Because of the above deficiencies, the use of Information for decision making has been
limited. The Management Information System contemplated under KHSDP aims at rectifying the

above mentioned deficiencies so as to make it an efficient tool for decision making process.

Main Features of Management Information System under K.H.S.D.P.

The KHSDP has

identified the following steps for development of Management

Information System:


Classifying : Identification of information needs and the kinds or
classes of data needed to be generated.



Collecting : Providing for collection of data like designing forms,

deciding on the persons to collect the data, or retrieve it from already
available sources.



Recording : Recording manually, mechanically, or electrically.



Sorting : Organising data to facilitate processing.



Calculating : Summarising, and analysing, based on some criteria.



Storing : For future use.



Retrieving . To be able to find the information when needed.



Reproducing : For multiple use.



Communicating : Delivering output to information user.

\

The Management Information System is expected to serve the following beneficiaries:


Secretariat, Ministry of Health



Directorate comprising different Directors, Additional Directors, Joint Directors



Project Officers managing different programmes and projects



District Level Officers attached to the Department and Local Govt. Bodies



Health Care Professionals attached to provide a institution



Other organisations / bodies associated Health Care Planning & Execution

The ul,iMe objecive of KHSDP is ,o deveiop . Ma„ageM ^.ioo System
eovenng each and every heai.b care est.bl.staen, and each and ever, activity o„ a„ 0„lme tasis.
However for the present the action plan for MIS is on the following steps :

1

Develop maooally based Management Infonpation Syaem to monitor and assess the

functmmg of KHSDP hospitals so that the hospital lunctionaries are not taken by
surpnse when computer based Management information System is introduced. This

wdl also help KHSDP to understand rhe strengths and deficiencies-of In-house
Information processing capabilities.

2. Develop manually based reporting format for surveillance of communicable diseases.
3. Develop the habit of bi-directional information flow so as to develop confidence in
both generators and users of information.

4. Computerise data recording, sorting, calculating, storing, retrieving, reproducing and
communicating capabilities at the central monitoring unit o„ an Excel compatible G1S
software.
5. Develop computer based information flow at the level of District and Taluk Hospitals

and link them in a network.
6. Develop query based output packages for better

communication to the information

Data Collection:

Towards this objective, a format for collection of utility data on a number of services
delivered by CHCs, Taluka, General and District hospitals was created. The format also includes
a check-list for stock position of essential drugs, functioning status of available equipment,

collection and utilisation status of user charges. It also enables the administrative medical officer
to bring to the notice of the project at least five critical issues which need urgent action fL

ensuring smooth running of the hospital.

A book-let containing these formats along with

guidelines for filling the data on a daily basis was dispatched to all 252 hospitals under the

project.
Standardised format for collecting data on all activities in Project Hospitals along with
guidelines for filling have been given to the Hospitals. (Annexure I).

Data Recording, Sorting, Calculating, Storing: Monthly Performance Indicator reports from
these hospitals are being reviewed in the project office. Errors and omissions noticed in hllirig

various data as well as action taken or initiated on issues of concern are being fed back to the

originators through letters written periodically.

These monthly data are also being fed to

computers for subsequent analysis. Veiy recently the project is planning to develop a CIS basdd

software for this purpose. Presently data is being stored on Windows Excel.
Processing of the Data: The processing of the Data is done through a query based computer

programme. The programme provides processed information on the following with respect to
each hospital.

IL Principles of Seniority
What is Seniority ?
Persons appointed earlier either by direct recruitment or by promotion in accordance
with the rules of recruitment are senior to those appointed subsequently. In other
words appointees of one occasion are senior to the appointees of the next or
subsequent occasion/s if it is within the frame work of rules of recruitment and this is
what is known in service jurisprudence as seniority according to continuous length of
service in the cadre or grade.
(G.S. Lamba V/s Union of India)
1985(1) SLR 687 SC)

(1) Appointments can be made on a permanent (substantive) basis or on a temporary
(officiating) basis.
(2) Officiating appointment can be made substantive by the process of confirmation.
An official can be confirmed when the following conditions are satisfied :

(i) availability of a clear vacancy against a permanent post;
(ii) the period of probation / officiation of the official is declared to have been
. completed satisfactorily ;
(iii) the official has passed the prescribed examination, if any, to the cadre /
post;
(iv) the official is the senior most eligible person in accordance with the
seniority list.- -- (3) An official appointed on substantive basis is senior to all officials appointed on
officiating basis in the same cadre of service or class of posts immaterial of the
length of service.
Rule 2(a)

(B.N. Nagarajan V/s State of Karnataka)
(197992) SLR 116 SC)
(4) Amongst the officials appointed substantively the interse seniority is to be
determined according to the dates of confirmation but if it is the same, on the basis
of their interse seniority while officiating in the same grade and if not on the basis
of their interse seniority in the lower grade
(Rule 2(f)

(5) Amongst the officials appointed on officiating basis their interse seniority is to be
determined on the basis of officiation in the same grade and if it is the same, on the
basis of officiation in the lower grade.

J
I

I.

Attitude or tendency - example attempts made by a probationer to secure a job with
better prospect elsewhere (Case Law, TCM, Pillai V/s Technology Institute. Guindy AIR 1971 SC 181 1).

II. Behavious or conduct - example the conduct which is not in keeping with the status of
the Govt, Servants (Case Law: Kumar Chandra \7s State of Karnataka - ILR 1987
KAR 2756);

Mis-conduct which has resulted in punishment - A Producer in All India Radio who
committed mis-conduct indulging in loose talk and using filthy abusive language
against Station Director. Here the mis-conduct is only a inducing factor for discharge
and discharge is not a direct punitive action for that mis-conduct.

Vin. DISCHARGE DURING THE PERIOD OF PROBATION:
A probationer can be discharged even during the period of probation on the grounds arising out of the conditions imposed by tmles/orders of appointment or on account of unsuitability - Rule 6.

Orders of appointment may be subject to certain other conditions like; Investigation of
antecedents or physical fitness or jsubject to legal proceedings pending in the Courts.
When these conditions are not satisfied by the Probationer he may be discharged during
the course of probation.

Unsuitability is another aspect on the basis of which the probatiioner can be discharged
even during the period of probation.
However, when discharging person under rale 6 an appointing authority other then
Government should obtain the approval of the next higher authority. This is to avoid
prejudice resulting in malafides.

Recourse to rule 6 cannot be had when misconduct is alleged. If misconduct is alleged it
amounts to removal or dismissal within the meaning of Article 311 and hence the o'rders
passed have to be in conformity with the Article 3U(2Xi.e., recourse should be had to
CCA Rules and not to rule 6 of the Probation Rules - Ref. Rule 7 and also the Circular
No......................... Dt:................................ ).

(Case Law: Anup Jaishwal V/s GOI, SLR 1984 SC 426).
LX. GENERAL ASPECTS OF DECLARATION AND DISCHARGE:

1) Under these rules:

1.

Any delay in declaration ot probation does not give rise to automatic declaration since
there is provision for unlimited extension.

IG

U. Where the rules provide for fixed period ot probation and limited provision for
extension or no provision at all for extension then after the expiry of such penod if the
Govt, sen/ent ,s continued the period of probation is deemed to have been
automatically
, .
J
declared.
(Case Law. Kumar Chandra V/s State of Karnataka - ILR 1987 KAR 2756)

HI. Discharge of a probationer who
who was
was already
already in
in Government
Government service prior to
appointment as probationer results in his reversion to that earlier service or post (Vide
Note below rule 3).
IV. The probitioner discharged under rule 5 <or 6" has no right of appeal. That is in other
words the order once passed is final - Rule 8.
2) However, this provision in the rules do not tbar the
d., judicial serutiny. The affected
probationer is not prevented from approaching the CoJrt
r.
.
41
----- r™: °r the KAT but the scooe of
interference by the judiciary is limited to verifying whether the discharge is simoiicitor
or otherwise. Unless there is a prima-facie evidence in the order passed or records
' leadmg to the orders that the discharge is other then discharge simplicitor the courts
cannot interfere. However, if there is evidence to show on the records to the effect
. ^.t miscouncuc^ u, alleged and stigma attached, however innoouous the working in
the final
of discharge the Courts
hnal order ot
Couns can ask for the production of original records
and examining the matter.
(State ofMaharashtra V/s Saboji - AIR1980 SC 42)

X. CONFIRMATION
On declaration of satisfactory completion of probation a probationer is entitled to be
confirmed at t e ear lest opportunity in a substantive vaccancy that may exist or arise. Rule 9.

XL INCREMENTS AND PAY:

A probationer is entitled to draw all the increments that fall due during the prescribed
penod of probation. He is not entitled to draw the increments that fall due during the
extended period ot prooacion. - Rule 10.
After ^ihe expjry iof extended period on declaration of satisfactory completion of
prooat.on, a^> Lorn the date .ne declaration taken enect.the probationer’s pay has to be

°r a Perioh Ci one year. The cost of maintenance of non-clinical services at
Devanahalli Hospital was equivalent to the salary of 6 Group ’D' employees excludins
*e expenditure on Detergents, Disinfectants, etc. There was also no expenditure on items
hke electnc bulbs, tubes, taps. etc. The maintenance contract included not only the wagfes
out also the material component. Therefore it was thought that there will net be anv
expenditure for maintenance of the hospital for a period of one year. The agency was paid
the charges every month on certification by the concerned medical officer" Ove- a period
ot one year, the experiment was found to be very successfril in terms of maintenance of a
ovemment Hospital, without any additional expenditure on routine maintenance or.
annual maintenance.
The.pilot projec. was visited by the World Bank members and considering the
X maintenance’ the WorId Bank Review Mission in their Aide-Memoire of Mav
1998 gave the Benchmark of extending this facility io another 10 hospitals by November
end. As Devanahalli hospital was taken up on a pilot basis, detailed procedures were not
gone into before entrusting it to an agency. As this work is taken up under operational
expenses, there is no standard Bidding Document of the World Bank. In order to ensure
transparency m the Bidding process, the standard Bidding Document for civil works was
adopted and with suitable changes, a Bidding Documentor contracting out non-clinical
services under Local Shopping Procedure was prepared. This Bidding Document is being
used for inviting bids for contracting out maintenance of hospitals. A detailed schedule is
prepared in the Bidding Document in which there is reference to even the minor activities
an agency has to do in the hospital on getting the contract for maintenance of non-clinical
service. A copy of the Schedule from the Bidding Document is enclosed to this as Annei;

After Devanahalli Hospital, in three more hospitals non-clinical sen-ices has
a ready been contracted out to private agencies. The hospitals covered by this facility are
(a) Taluk Level Hospital. Magadi, (b) Taluk Level Hospital, Kunigal and (c) Taluk Level
' Hospital, Nelamangala. The rates offered by the successful bidders in respect of these
three hospitals are Rs. 23.000/-, Rs. 30,200/- and Rs. 26,200/- per month respectively!
lhe maintenance cost in respect of these three hospitals which is given to a private
agency is less than the expenditure that the hospital would incur on the salarv of Groufi
D employees and the detergents they purchase in the hospitals. In respect of eiuht more
hospitals, the bids have been taken and they are in the process of evaluation. While
providing this facility of maintenance of non-clinical service in hospitals through a
private agency is considered by the protect, the consent of the respective hospital
superintendents and the local administration is also taken. This facility is not beinn civen
to the hospital unless the hospital authorities come forward to have this facility in their
hospitals. The funds are provided by the project at present as the salary component for

However, it is equally essential to note that the protection of
patient s right shall not be at the cost of professional integrity and
autonomy. There is definitely a need for striking such delicate
balance. Otherwise the consequences would be inexplicable.
In the context of obtaining processes, there is a deserving need
for two-pronged approach. On one hand, the desirable direction
points towards identification of minimum reasonable standards in the
light of social, economical and cultural context which would facilitate
the adjudicators to decide issues of professional liability on an
objective basis. On the other hand, such identification enables the
medical professionals to internalize such standards in their day-to-day
discharge of professional duties, which would hopefully prevent to a
large extent the scenario of protection of patient’s rights in a
lltlgative atmosphere. In the longer run, the present adversarial
placement of doctor and the patient would undergo transformation
to the advantage of both patient and the medical doctor and society
at large.

THE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, 1986

The Consumer Protection Act was passed in 1986 with a view
to provide for better protection of the interests of the consumers.
The Act makes provisions for the establishment of Consumer
Protection Councils and other authorities such as Consumer Dis­
putes Redressal Forums at the National, State and District levels for
speedy and simple settlement of consumer disputes.

SALIENT FEATURES OF THE ACT
a.

The Act recognises the right of the user other than the buyer
- also to sue the manufacturer by defining the word consumer to
include user also.

b.

It empowers an individual consumer or a recognised consumer
association whether the consumer is a member of such
association or not to file a complaint in respect of defective
goods or deficient services.

It covers not only goods as defined under the Sale of Goods
Act, 1930 but also services including services provided by public
sector undertakings and government departments such as
banking, financing, insurance, transport, processing, supply of
electrical or other energy etc.
4

d.

It defines the rights of consumers. They include:

1.

the right to be protected against the marketing of hazard­
ous goods;

2.
3.

the right to be protected against unfair trade practices;
the right to be assured access to a variety of goods at
competitive prices;
the right to be heard and to be assured that their interests
will receive due consideration at appropriate forums;
the right to seek redressal against unfair trade practices or
exploitation and

4.

5.
6.

the right to consumer education.

e.

It provides for the establishment of advisory bodies at the
Central and State levels to be known as Central Consumer
Protection Council and the State Consumer Protection Coun­
cils with the object of promoting and protecting the rights of
consumers.

f.

It provides for the establishment of quasi-judicial bodies for the
redressal of the grievances of consumers at the District, State
and Central levels known as District Forum, State Commission
and National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.

-_g

It Jays down the procedure to be followed in redressing
consumer grievances and-provides a time limit for the disposal
of their complaints.

h.

It empowers the District Forum to issue orders to the opposite
party to remove the defect from the goods or to replace the
goods or to return the price or charges paid and or to pay
compensation for any loss or injury suffered by the consumer
due to the negligence of the opposite party, in respect of
defective goods or deficient services.

i.

It empowers the District Forum, the State or the National
Commission to enforce its order in the same manner as if it
were a decree or order made by the Court, and in the event of
Its inability to execute it, to send such order to a court of
competent jurisdiction for its execution.

5

^4
\^o

j-

It empowers the forum or commission to impose a sentence of
imprisonment of not less than one month extending to 3 years
or with a minimum fine of Rs. 2,000/- extending upto
Rs. 10,000/- or with both, for failure to comply with any order
made by it.

k.

The 1993 amendment has empowered the forum or commls.sion to order payment of compensation by the complainant to
the opposite party if the petition appears to be frivolous or
vexatious in nature. The amount shall not be more than
Rs. 10,000/-.

WHAT A MEDICAL DOCTOR SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
COPRA?
1.

Who can file a complaint?

A consumer or any recognised consumer association, i.e.,
voluntary consumer association registered under the Compa­
nies Act, 1956 or any other law for the time being In force,
whether the consumer is a member of such association or not,
or the central or state government.

2.

Who is a consumer?
A consumer is a person who hires or avails of any services for
a consideration which has been paid or promised or partly paid
and partly promised or under any system of deferred payment
and includes any beneficiary of such services other than the
person hires or avails of the services for consideration paid or
promised, or under any system of deferred payment, when such
services are availed of with the approval of the first mentioned
person. This definition is wide enough to include a patient who
merely promises to pay.

3.

What is a complaint? ■
A complaint is an allegation In writing made by a complainant,
i.e., consumer that he or she has suffered loss or damage as a
result of any deficiency of service.

_4.

What is deficiency of service?

Means any fault, imperfection, shortcoming or inadequacy in
the quality, nature and manner of performance which is

6

required to be maintained by or under any law for the time
being in force or has been undertaken to be performed by a
person in pursuance of a contract or otherwise in relation to
any service.

5.

Where to file a complaint?
In the district forum if the value of services and compensation
claimed is less than one lakh of rupees; before the state
commission, if the value of the goods or services and the
compensation claimed does not exceed more than frve lakhs. In
the state commission, if the value of the goods or services and
the compensation does not exceed more than twenty lakhs of
rupees. In the national commission, if the value of the goods
or services and the compensation exceeds more than twenty
lakhs of rupees.

6.

What is the cost involved in filing a complaint?

There is no fee for filing a complaint or appeal before the
different consumer redressal forums.

7.

Is there any provision for appeal?

Appeal against the decision of the district forum can be filed
before the state commission, from the state commission before
A^P^lIoQal commission and from the national commission to
the -Supreme Court. -The -time -limit within which the appeal
should be filed is 30 days from the date of the decision in all
cases.

8.

What are the powers of the consumer redressal forums?
(a)

the summoning and enforcing the attendance of any
defendant or witness and examining the witness on oath;

(b)

the discovery and production of any document or other
material object producible as evidence;

(c)

the reception of evidence on affidavits;

(d)

the summoning of any expert evidence or testimony;

(e)

the requisitioning of the report of the concerned analysis
or test from the appropriate laboratory or from any other
relevant source;

7

/a

(o

issuing of any commission for the examination of any
witness; and

(g)

any other matter which may be prescribed.

WHAT IS THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION?
(1). Service rendered to a patient by a medical practitioner (except
where the doctor renders service free of charge to every patient
or under a contract of personal service), by way of consultation,
diagnosis and treatment, both medicinal and surgical, would fall
within the ambit of ‘service’ as defined in Section 2(l)(0) of the

Act.
(2)

The fact that medical practitioners belong to the medical
profession and are subject to the disciplinary' control of the
Medical Council of India and/or State Medical Councils consti­
tuted under the provisions of the Indian Medical Council Act
would not exclude the services rendered by them from the ambit
of the Act.

(3)

A ‘contract of personal service’ has to be distinguished from a
’contract for personal services’. In the absence of a relationship
of master and servant between the patient and medical practi­
tioner, the service rendered by a medical practitioner to the
patient cannot be regarded as service rendered under a
'contract of personal service’. Such service is service rendered
under a ‘contract for personal services' and is not covered by
exclusionary clause of the definition of ‘service’ contained in
Section 2(l)(0) of the Act.

(4)

The expression ‘contract of personal service’ in Section 2(l)(0)
of the Act cannot be confined to contracts for employment of
domestic servants only and the said expression would include
the employment of a medical officer for the purpose of
rendering medical service to the employer. The service rendered
by a medical officer to the employer under the contract of
employment would be outside the purview of ‘service’ as
defined in Section 2(l)(0) of the Act.

(5)

Service rendered free of charge by a medical practitioner
attached to a hospital/nursing home or a medical officer
employed in a hospital/nursing home where such services are
8

U:

rendered free of charge to everybody, would net be "service” as
defined in Section 2(l)(0) of the Act. The payment of a token
amount for registration purpose only at the hospital/nursing
home would not alter the position.

(6)

Service rendered at a non-Govemment hospitaJ/nursing home
where no charge whatsoever Is made from any person availing
the service and all patients (rich and poor) are given free service,
is outside the purview of the expression ‘service’ as defined in
Section 2(l)(0) of the Act. The payment of a token amount for
registration purpose only at the hospital/nursing home would
not alter the position.

(7)

Service rendered at a non-govemment hospital/nursing home
where charges are required to be paid by the persons availing
such services falls within the purview of the expression ’service’
as defined in Section 2(l)(0) of the Act.

(8)

Service rendered at a non-Govemment hospital/nursing home
where charges are required to be paid by persons who are In
a position to pay and persons who cannot afford to pay are
rendered service free of charge would fall within the ambit of
the expression ’service’ as defined in Section 2(l)(0) of the Act
irrespective of the fact that the service is rendered free of charge
to persons who are not in a position to pay for such services.
Hee service, would also be .."service".and-the recipient a consumer under the Act.
—— -

(9)

Service rendered at a Government hospital/health centre/
dispensary where no charge whatsoever is made from any
person availing the services and all patients (rich and poor) are
given free service is outside the purview of the expression
serv.ee as defined in Section 2(l)(0) of the Act. The payment
of a token amount for registration purpose only at.the hospital/
nursing home would not alter the position.

(10) Service rendered at a Government hospital/health centre/
dispensary where services are rendered on payment of charges
and also rendered free of charge to other persons availing such
services would fall within the ambit of the expression ‘service’
as defined in Section 2(l)(0) of the Act irrespective of the fact
that the service is rendered free of charge to persons who do
9

not pay for such service. Free service vcould also be "service"
and the recipient a "consumer" under the Act.
(11) Service rendered by a medical practitioner or hospital/nursing
home cannot be regarded as service rendered free of charge
if the person availing the service has taken an insurance policy
for medical care where under the charges for consultation
diagnosis and medical treatment are bome by the insurance
company and such service would fall within the ambit of
‘service’ as-defined in Section 2(l)(0) of the Act.

(12) Similarly, where, as a part of the conditions of service the
emp oyer bears the expenses of medical treatment of an
employee and his family members by a medical practitioner or
a hospital/nursing home would not be free of charge and would
constitute ‘service’ under Section 2(l)(0) of the Act.
HOW ADJUDICATION OF LIABILITY TAKES PLACE?


Process before fhe competent forum will be set in motion
in the following manner. When the complainant files a written
complaint, the forum after taking cognizance of the same, sends a
Witten notice to the opposite party asking for written version to be
submitted within thirty days. Thereafter, subsequent to proper
scrutiny, the forum would ask for either filing of affidavit or
production of evidence.

SitUati°n °f medical negligence liability for proper

DEFINITIONAL ASPECTS

Negligence Is simply the failure to exercise due care. The three
ingredients of negligencei are:

1.

The defendant owes a duty of care to the plaintiff;

2.

The defendant has breached this duty of care;

3.

The plaintiff has suffered an injury due to this breach.

Medical negligence is no different. It is only that in medical
negligence case, most often, the doctor is the defendant.

WHAT IS THE DUTY OWED?

the slnrlme^X

HiS Patient’ in the WOrdS of

(Laxnsen v. Tnmbeck, AIR 1969 SC 128). The doctor, In other

11

! b'o

words, does not have to adhere to the highest or sink to the lowest
degree of care and competence in the light of the circumstance.
A doctor, therefore, does not have to ensure that every patient
who comes to him is cured. He has to only ensure that he makes
a reasonable degree of care and competence

REASONABLE DEGREE OF CARE
Reasonable degree of care and skill means that degree of care
and competence which an ordinary compe:ent member of profes­
sion who professes to have those skill would exercise In the
circumstance in question."

At this stage it may be necessary to note the distinction between
the standard of care and the degree of care. The standard of care
is a constant and remains the same in all cases. It is the requirement
that the conduct of the doctor be reasonable and need not
necessarily conform to the highest degree of care or the lowest
degree of care possible.
The degree of care is a variable and depends on the circum­
stance. It is used to refer to what actually amount tp reasonableness
in a given situation.
Thus, though the same standard of care is expected from a
generalist and a ‘specialist’, the degree.of care would be different.
In other words, both are expected to take reasonable care but what
amounts to reasonable care as regards the specialist differs from
what amount of reasonable care for the generalist. In fact, the law
expects the specialist to exercise the ordinary skill of this speciality
and not of any ordinary doctor.

Though the courts have accepted the need to impose a higher
degree of duty on a specialist, they have refused to lower it in case
of a novice.
Another question that arises is with regard to the knowledge
that is expected from a doctor. Should it include the latest develop­
ment in the field and hence, require constant updating or is it enough
to follow what has been traditionally followed?
It has been recognised by the courts that what amounts to
reasonableness changes with time. The standard, as stated clearly

12

hereinbefore requires that the doctor possesses reasonable knowl­
edge. Hence, we can conclude that a doctor has to constantly update
his knowledge to meet the standard expected of him. Further, since
only reasonable knowledge is required, it may not be necessary for
him to know of all the developments that have taken place.

1
I

i

We have, till now, examined the duty of a doctor in so far as
treating a patient is concerned or in diagnosing the ailment. Doctors
are however imposed on, with a duty to take the consent of a
person/patient before performing acts like surgical operations and in
some cases treatment as well. In sum any act which requires contact
with the patient has to be consented by the patient. A duty of care
is imposed on the doctors in taking the patient’s consent. Naturally,
a question arises as to what is this duty of care. As per the judicial
pronouncements, this duty is to disclose all such Information as
would be relevant or necessary for the patient to make a decision,
therefore, the duty does not extend to disclosing all possible
information in this regard. Further, this duty does not extend to
warning a patient of all the normal attendant risks of an operation.
The standard of care required of a doctor while obtaining
consent is again that of a reasonable doctor, as in other cases.

WHEN DOES THE LIABILITY ARISE?

Liability of a doctor arises not when the patient has suffered any
injury, but when the injury has resulted due to the conduct of the
doctor, which has fallen below that of reasonable care. In other
words the doctor is not liable for every Injury suffered by a patient.
He is liable for only those which are a consequence of a breach of
nis duty.
Hence, once the
I* existence of a duty has been established, the
plaintiff must still pr<■ove the breach of duty and the causation. For
in case there is no breach or the breach did not cause the damage’
the doctor will not be liable.
■A

In order to show the breach of duty, the burden on the plaintiff
would be to first show what is considered as reasonable under those
circumstances and then that the conduct of the doctor was below this
degree. It must be noted that it is not sufficient to prove a breach
to merely show that there exists a body of opinion which goes
13

1

against the practice/conduct of the doctor. However, in the light of
the facts of the case, that there was a body of opinion supporting
the course adopted by the doctor, the scope of this judgement would
seem to be limited. For it is extremely unpalatable that a doctor who
is the only one who has adopted this course can still hold his own
against a body of medical opinion. The implications of such a stand
would be highly detrimental. Further, as doctors are entitled to rely
on general practice as proof of reasonableness, there would be no
merit in denying the quality of reasonableness when the plaintiff
seeks to rely on it.

Hence, except where there is a body of opinion in favour of the
conduct of the doctor, the fact that there is a body of opinion
contrary to the conduct of the doctor must be considered as sufficient
to prove the breach of duty of care.
With regard to causation the court has held that it must be
shown that of all the possible reasons for the injury the breach of
duty of the doctor was the most probable cause. It is not sufficient
to show that the breach of duty is merely one of the probable causes.
Hence, if the possible causes of an injury are the negligence of a third
party, an accident or a breach of duty care of the doctor, then it must
be established that the breach of duty of care of the doctor was the
most probable cause of the injury to discharge the burden of proof
on the plaintiff.

Normally, the liability arises only when the plaintiff is able to
discharge the burden on him of proving negligence. However, in
some cases like a swab left over the abdomen of a patient or the leg
amputate instead of being put in a cast to treat the fracture, the
principle of 'res Ipsa loquitur> (meaning thereby ‘the thing speaks
for itself’) might come into play. The following are the necessary
conditions of this principles.
1.

Complete control rests with the doctor.

2.

It is the general experience of mankind that the accident,
in question does not happen without negligence.

This principle is often misunderstood as a rule of evidence,
which it is not. It is a principle in the law of torts. When this principle
is applied, the burden is on the doctor/defendant to explain how the

General Practice, is the normal usage of the medical profession
as regards a particular aspect in question. For example, doctor
normally use a stethoscope to listen to the heartbeat. This is normally
considered by courts as an indicator of what is reasonable in a given
situation.
The main issue in this area Is whether general practice is
conclusive proof as to reasonableness?

Though the -courts have not categorically accepted it as
conclusive proof, though they have not denied it either, In relation
to medical negligence cases. Further, in numerous cases the courts
have accepted it is proof the courts have held in relation to other
professions that general practice not conclusive as to reasonableness.

Another factor to be considered in the analysis is that ultimately
it is the court which must judge what is reasonable and what is not.
It cannot delegate or give up this function in favour of someone else.
It is appreciated that due to technical nature of the subject, the judges
may not be able to accurately judge the nuances.
Error of judgement can either be a ‘mere’ error of judgement
or error of judgement due to negligence. Only in the case of the
former, it has been recognized by the courts as not being a breach
of the duty of care. It can be described as the recognition in law of
the human fallibilityJn..all spheres of life.
-

A mere error of judgement occurs when a doctor having only
considered, makes a decision which turns out to be wrong. It is
situation where only in retrospect, an be say there was an error. At
the time when the decision was made, it did not seem wrong. If,
- however, due consideration of all the factors was not taken, then it
would amount to an error of judgement due to negligence.

An example of a mere error of judgement could be as follows:
A patient has symptoms which are Indicative of two different
diseases ‘X’ and ’Y'. After conducting due tests, there is no evidence
to show that the disease is either ‘X’ or ‘Y but only that it is one
of the two. At this the doctor decided that the disease is ‘X’. Hence,
he treats the patient for this disease. It later turns out that the disease
was ‘Y’ and the treatment given was actually injurious. If the doctor
had been more experienced he might have been able to make the

correct decision.

t

7

In this case, due care had been taken to conducting the required
tests. It was only in retrospect that one could conclude that the
decision of the doctor was wrong. Thus, it was a mere error of
judgement and the doctor would not be liable for the injuries caused.

WHETHER A DOCTOR CAN DEPOSE BEFORE FORUM?
Undoubtedly, a doctor who is considered as an expert evidence
is entitled to depose either on behalf of complainant or aggrieved
patient.
ARE THERE ANY LIMITATIONS ON THE PART OF
CONSUMER FORUMS TO ADJUDICATE THIS KIND OF
ISSUES?
One significant information which is required to be noted is that
the above principles of medical negligence liability have been evolved
by the regular courts of law mainly premising on English and
American principles, that too, after detailed scrutiny of adducible
evidence. Time and again, the National Consumer Redressal Forum
has observed that, if a consumer complaint pertaining to medical
negligence is required to be adjuciated in the light of detailed
evidence, the consumer forum is not the proper forum but of a
regular civil court.

_ Needless to say, in the ambit of ‘Doctor, Consumer Protection
and Adjudication of Liability’ this issue deserves serious consideration
by one and all.

Standardization of professional care, is it a solution?

6. Conclusion
Medical audit thus offers an excellent opportunity to hospital doctors
to educate themselves, especially in view of the fact that the science of medicine is a dvnamic
one. It keeps them alert and skillful, makes them take more interest, and stimulates them to do
their best.
7. Medical Officers must be aware ot exact meaning of certain terms which are i; sed
for preparing hospital statistics :
(a) Gross Death Rate ;
(b) Net Death Rate;
(c) Maternal Death Rate;
(d) Autopsy Rate ;
(e) Admission;
(f) Average Daily Census ;
(g) Bed Occupancy Rate (B O R.) Ratio ;
(h) Average Length of stay (A.L.S);
(i) Bed Turnover Interval (B’T.l).

The section Expenditure Head(Capital Account)" is the account

of expenditure incurred with the object of either increasing the

concrete assets of material and permanent character such as
construction of buildings irrigation projects, or of reducing
recurring liabilities^

iii) The Section Public Debt Loans and Advances,

etc.

temporary nature classed as Floating Debt, such as Treasury
Bills and ways and means advances as well as loans classed

as

permanent debt and loans and advances made by Government.

namely:-

I Debt and Deposits and
II.Remittances.

HIV TESTING POLICIES

As per guide lines orNmional AIDS Control Organisation Governn.ent of India, the lolloping

■E

Four types of Testing procedure is followed:

1.
2.
3.
4.

1.

Voluntary Confidential Testing
Testing for Surveillance purpose
Testing for Diagnostic purpose
Mandatory Testing.

VOLUNTARY CONFIDENTIAL TESTING

Tire Voluntary Confidential Testing is done at Voluntary Blood Testing Centres (AIDS

Surveillance Centres), by giving pre-test Counseling and post-test counseling to those individuals who
approach voluntarily to know their HIV status.
Tie individuals will be subjected to one test by simple Rapid test or Elisa, if the result is positive,

the sample will be subjected for a second test with a different antigen principles, if found positive it will be
taken as HIV Sero-positive.

2.

TESTING FOR SURVEILLANCE PURPOSE

The unlinked anonymous testing procedure is followed duly adopting tlie coding system. This is

done to know the trends of HIV Infection in a particular group over a period of time. The epidemiological
data is used for planning preventive strategies. Sampling group will be from high-risk groups or low risk

groups. The Surveillance will be done for a period of six to eight weeks for a sample size of 250 to 400 by

designing a Standard protocol.

The samples will Ire subjected to testing by one type of test kits, tlie positive samples will be again

subjected for a-second test with different antigen principle. Tlie positive result of second test will be
considered as HIV Scro-positive. This kind of study will be conducted twice in a year. Tlie test will be

' done at Voluntary Blood Testing Centres (AIDS Surveillance Centres).
3.

TESTING FOR DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSE:

This test will be done at Voluntary Blood testing Centres (AIDS Surveillance Centres). The

samples of Clinically suspected cases referred by Physicians/Doctors will be tested for confirmation to
diagnose and manage tire case. Here three types of tests will be done using different antigen principles.
The first reactive sample will be tested by a second test and the subsequent reactive sample will be

subjected for third test. If tire sample is reactive in the tlurd test it will be confinncd as HI V Scro-positive.
The result will be utilized for AIDS case diagnosis and management.

vW

4.

MANDATORY TESTING

Mandatory testing will be done at Blood Bank to ensure Blood transfusion safety. All Blood units
Collected for transfusion will be tested mandalorily by one test only either by simple Rapid test or Elisa or

Spot test. If die result is found reactive the Blood will be discarded. Please note that there is no identity of
Blood donors, die Blood dial is collected for transfusion is tested.

Malaria Vaccine :

most important strategies for providing a cost-effective
currently available malaria control interventions. To date, ] addition to
relatively few
malaria vaccine candidates have
progressed to clinical and field trials.
Much of the research activity
over the past 15 years has focussed on the
identification of unmodified parasite, antigens to be formulated in
traditional adjuvants such as alum, This is now changing as new perspectives
to producing modified antigens are developed, together with new strategies
such as DNA vaccines and ]novel adjuvants for human use. In addition,
considerable experience has beeni raccumulated in the design and execution of
clinical and field trials for malaria vaccines.

DENGUE FEVER
Dengue fever(DF) has been known in India for a long time. Though the
virus was first isolated in Calcutta in 1945, extensive epidemics of DF have
been recorded since 1963.
DF is
caused by four antigenically distinct

Rcpioductixc and Child Health Services


Dr. G.V. Nagaraj*

Fhe Past :

For over ^0 years Family Welfare Programme was known for its rigid,
target based approach in contraceptives. The performance was
measured by the reported numbers of the four contraceptive methodsSterilisatiom Intrauterine device. Oral pills and Condoms This was
widely criticised for being a coercive approach.
The 1994 Cairo International Conference on Population and
Development (ICPD) formulated a growing International consensus
that improving reproductive health and family planning is essential
to human welfare and development.
A growing body of evidence and the Cairo consensus
consensus suggest
Numerical method specific contraceptive
contraceptive target
target and
monetary incentives" for providers to be replaced by a broader
system of "programme performance goals" and measures
focussed on a range ot reproductive health services.

The World Bank report-1995 concludes that, the current
contraceptive "Target and Incentive" system gives a demographic
planning emphasis to family welfare programme (FWP) which .is
antithetical to the reproductive and child health (RCH) client centered
approach advocated in the GOI-ICPD country' statement for the Cairo
conference. In particular emphasis on numerical targets is a major
reason tor the lack of attention to the individual client needs and is
detrimental to the quality of services provided

Family Welfare Programme to Reproductive Child Health
-The paradigm shift :

To date the impact ol Family Planning Programme has been
measured in terms ol their contribution to increase contraceptive
prevalence and to decrease fertility. These indicators are inadequate
for measuring the impact of reproductive Health Programme and
therefoie, new indicators for monitoring reproductive health services
and Service Quality from the perspective ot the client are urgently
needed.
Over the past decade there has been a clearer articulation and
definition of reproductive health as a concept and some thinking on
the ways in which reproductive health problems should be addressed.
Against this background the main recommendations of the World
Bank report on the Indian Family Welfare Programme (FWP) is that
the programme is to be re-oriented expeditiously to a Reproductive
and Child Health approach (RCH). The main objective of which
would be to meet individual client health and family planning needs
and to provide high quality services.

The principle g oal ol a reproductive health programme is to ff
Reduce unwanted fertility " safely there' by responding to the
needs ot the individuals for "High quality health services" as well as
to the demographic objectives.

The report recommends that the targets be replaced by a broad set of
performance goals and greater emphasis on "male contraceptive
methods especially vasectomy and condoms and greater choice of
methods.

The 1994 International Conference
on Population
and Development
at Cairo (ICPD) has indicated a consensus
definition
complete physical, mental and social well being and i as a "State of
absence of disease or infirmity in all matters relation not merely the

Specific Health Problems
Identifiable cluster of client groups
Distrinctive goals and strategics

The programme enable clients:
*
To make informed choices
*
Receive screening
*
Counseling services
*
Education for responsible and healthy sexuality
*
Access services for prevention of unwanted pregnancy
*
Safe abortion
*
Maternity care and child survival
*
Prevention and management of reproductive morbidity.
Implementing reproductive health services means a change in the
existing culture of the programme from one that focuses on
achieving targets to one that aim at providing a range of quality
services.
-

Objective of RCH packages are :

1. Meet individual client health and family planning needs.
2. Provide high quality services.
3. Ensure greater service coverage
RCH Policy :
The fundamental policy change is that Instead of remaining
responsible for reducing rate of population growth, reproductive
health programme would become responsible for reducing burden bf
unplanned and unwanted child bearing and related morbidity and
mortality.
Further the basic assumption is that improvement in service quality
will result in client satisfaction and will over long term translate into

New Signals :
Shifting to reproductive health
approach implies changing the
implementation signals. :

• Client satisfaction becomes the primary programme
goal with
demographic i mpact a secondary though imponant concern.
• Broadening the service package is necessary
• Improving service quality becomes the top priority.
The new signals for a quiet revolution in
the way the programme is

While still encouraging smaller families help

Reproductive Morbidity and Alortnlitv :

• 1/j of the total disease burden in the developing countrv of
Women 15-44 years of age is linked to health problems
related to pregnancy, child birth, abortion. HIV
and
Reproductive tract infections (RTI's).
• The heavy load of reproductive morbidity among Indian women is
an outcome of th ier :
1. Poverty
2. Powerlessness
3. Low social status
4. Malnutrition
5. Infection
6. High fertility
7. Lack of access to health care
• India s maternal mortality ratio, usually estimated at 400- 500
per 1,00.000 live birth is fifty times higher than that
in
the
developed countries.
• In India a small study has revealed that for every’ women who
dies, an estimated 16 others develop various risks.
• Chronic and debilitating conditions such as vaginal fistulas
and uterine prolapse cause terrible suffering.

Essential Reproductive Child Health Services :
During 1995-96, Mandya was identified as Target Free District and
the performance was measured by certain quality indicators. Based Ion
the experience, from April 1996 all the districts in Karnataka have
adopted Target Free Approach" and the earlier implementation of
isolated programmes concentrating on Family Welfare and Mother
