National Convention on
Medicine & Law
Share Your Views
A distinctive feature of the Convention is its open democratic consultation process. Before the event, doctors, lawyers, healthcare professionals, patients, students, civil society members, and the general public are invited to share their views, concerns, experiences, and suggestions on issues related to medicine and law. The best reforms always emerge from real-world experiences.
These inputs help identify the real problems faced by people and professionals on the ground. These may include practical difficulties in healthcare delivery, gaps in existing laws, emerging medico-legal challenges, ethical dilemmas, patient safety concerns, regulatory issues, or areas requiring legal reform.
The suggestions received are reviewed and may be taken up for discussion during the Convention, where experts from medicine, law, policy, administration and public life deliberate on them. This process ensures that the Convention is not limited to expert opinion alone, but is also informed by the lived experiences and concerns of the wider community.
Who Should Participate
- Doctors & Healthcare Professionals: Point out the legal anxieties faced in daily practice, ambiguities in medical regulations, informed consent challenges, or areas where the law fails to protect the medical fraternity.
- Lawyers & Legal Experts: Highlight conflicting judicial precedents, gaps in current healthcare statutes, emerging bioethical dilemmas, or procedural delays in medical negligence cases.
- General Public & Patient Advocates: Share experiences regarding healthcare accessibility, patient rights, transparency in billing, or any legal hurdles faced while seeking medical care.
Why Participation Matters
Healthcare laws affect everyone. Doctors need clarity and protection to practise responsibly. Patients need rights, safety and access to justice. Society needs laws that are fair, practical and responsive to the changing realities.
By sharing views, one contributes to a larger national conversation and helps make the Convention a truly participatory forum. This can help bring important issues to the attention of experts, policymakers and stakeholders.
