The Supreme Court of India has held that the right to trauma care forms a vital part of the right to life, highlighting the urgent need for systemic intervention and a nationwide trauma-care framework and Good Samaritan reforms.
The Chief Justice of India, Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud, today refused to entertain a petition seeking judicial directives to combat superstition, emphasizing that education, societal reform, and legislative action are essential. The Court stressed that courts cannot address all societal problems and that the responsibility of addressing such issues lies with civil society and democratic institutions.
