This legislation protects healthcare professionals and medical workers from violence and intimidation across the State of Madhya Pradesh. It strictly prohibits assault, criminal force, threats, or intimidation directed at doctors, nurses, midwives, paramedics, medical students, and support staff while discharging their lawful duties in public or private hospitals, dispensaries, mobile clinics, or ambulances. Violators face imprisonment for up to three months, a fine of up to ten thousand rupees, or both. Because offences are made cognizable and non-bailable, police can make arrests without a warrant, ensuring strong legal deterrence so healthcare personnel can serve safely.
