Bare Act

The Uttarakhand Medicare Service Persons and Institutions

This law protects healthcare professionals and facilities in Uttarakhand from violence and vandalism. It applies to all medical service staff including doctors, nurses, medical students, and paramedics working in public and private hospitals, clinics, and ambulances. Under this state act, committing violence against healthcare workers or damaging hospital property is a serious criminal offense. Violators face up to three years in prison, fines, and a statutory penalty of double the cost of any damaged equipment. This law matters because it makes these offenses arrestable without bail, allowing police to arrest offenders immediately, thereby providing stronger safety safeguards for medical workers.
