I hope that the doctor-patient relationship will remain the same in future as well. #RightToHealth," Ashok Gehlot said on Twitter.Notably, Rajasthan on March 21, passed the Right to Health Bill, which gives every resident of the state the right to avail of free Out Patient Department (OPD) services and In-Patient Department (IPD) services at all public health facilities, becoming the first state to do so.However, the private hospitals and doctors in Rajasthan seemed to be wary of it and were protesting against the bill through a work boycott urging the state government not to implement it.The Rajasthan government and the doctors reached an agreement on eight demands. The doctors' body will be attending a general body meeting in the auditorium at 4 pm, where they will make the formal announcement regarding the agreement.An official notification regarding the bill will also be released soon after approval by the governor.A consensus has been made between the government and the doctors on eight major demands.The major points of the agreement are the fact that the RTH bill will not be fully applicable in private hospitals, and the cases filed during the movement will be withdrawn.Speaking to about the consensus between the government and the doctors, Dr Vijay Kapoor, the Secretary of Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes Society told , "The government has agreed to all our demands. This agreement has been done without any pressure, whatever we wanted, those demands have been agreed upon. This is a big victory for private hospitals""The RTH bill will be applicable to private medical colleges, and hospital PPP mode.
