In response to rising violence against healthcare professionals in Punjab, Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh has reiterated a zero-tolerance policy and called for stringent measures to enhance security at medical facilities. He directed the establishment of District Health Boards to review security arrangements monthly, comprising local officials and healthcare representatives. The Punjab government plans to implement the 'Punjab Protection of Medicare Service Persons and Medicare Service Institutions Act, 2008', ensuring display boards with legal provisions are installed at all healthcare facilities. Additionally, specific security audits and improvements, such as installing CCTV cameras and adequate lighting, will be conducted across hospitals. Only one attendant will be allowed per patient in high-traffic health facilities to control access. The initiative aims to provide a safer environment for medical professionals and improve overall healthcare security.
