CIVIL LIBERTIES
3.81 The Commission requested two eminent experts to examine all aspects of the
matter and, upon receiving a comprehensive report from them, made a series of
recommendations to all the concerned authorities seeking implementation of the
report. As there was delay in the implementation of certain of the recommendations,
the Commission considered it essential to issue notices once again on the basis of a
news item that appeared in December 2000 under the title 'Hospital Sleeps on NHRC
Suggestions'. By the close of the period under report, however, substantial progress
had been made on the recommendations of the Commission by the Central Drug
Controller General of India; the Commissioner, Food and Drug Control
Administration, Gujarat; M/s Core Health Care Ltd.; the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital,
New Delhi and the Medical Stores Depot. The Commission is heartened by this
progress and urges that vigilance be maintained by all concerned to ensure that the
Commission's recommendations are faithfully and consistently implemented.
