#supremecourtofindia Strikes Down Assam Law Allowing Diploma Holders To Treat Specified Diseases and Perform Minor Procedures
Case Title: Baharul Islam and Ors. v. Indian Medical Association and Ors. | SLP(C) No. 32592-32593/2015

Citation: 2023 LiveLaw (SC) 57

Coram: Justices B.R. Gavai and B.V. Nagarathna

The Supreme Court struck down the Assam Rural Health Regulatory Authority Act, 2004 which permitted diploma holders in Medicine and Rural Health Care to treat certain common diseases, perform minor procedures, and prescribe certain drugs. Any variation in the standards of the qualifications required of medical practitioners who render services in rural areas vis-à-vis those rendering services in urban and metropolitan areas is violative of the constitutional values of substantive equality and non-discrimination, said #supremecourt
