Question: What about only medical camps conducted by NGOs where no procedures are done? Suppose a sick patient is brought to such a camp and collapses. What are the legal implications? Answer: Medical Camps only serve as a place to see sick patients, refer them to appropriate centres if there is a need.They also serve medium for the spread for knowledge of national health programs.
They are mostly arranged by NGOs or Government. If a sick patient comes to camp and collapses, it does not carry any legal implications as the camp was meant only for examination of patients. It is better that all sick cases should be immediately referred to the referral centre.
