It applies across the State of Tripura to public and private hospitals, nursing homes, doctors, nurses, medical students, and paramedical staff. For the ordinary citizen, the Act makes any act of violence or property destruction in a healthcare institution a severe criminal offence that is non-bailable and cognizable, meaning police can arrest offenders without a warrant. Additionally, it ensures that patients suffering from medical negligence have an official advisory authority to seek guidance for legal remedies.
