Maharashtra Bill does not regulate private hospital treatment rates, says health right group

A health rights group says Maharashtra's new bill fails to regulate private hospital treatment rates. The group has met with all 21 MLAs in the Joint Legislative Committee, urging the Health Minister to hold a statewide consultation with health sector organisations and networks to discuss the bill. The group argues that without rate regulation, patients may face unpredictable costs.
