Healthcare Legal Awareness

⚠️ Mandatory Disclosure

This program does NOT confer any medical degree, license, or authority to practice medicine. Participation does not permit the use of the title “Doctor,” prescription of medicines, or treatment of diseases.

कार्यक्रम का उद्देश्य (Purpose of the Program)

यह कार्यक्रम कानूनी जोखिम न्यूनीकरण (Legal Risk Reduction) और मरीज सुरक्षा (Patient Safety) पर केंद्रित है।

भारत में अनेक ग्रामीण एवं अर्ध-शहरी क्षेत्रों में ऐसे व्यक्ति प्राथमिक स्तर पर लोगों की सहायता कर रहे हैं जो औपचारिक चिकित्सा योग्यता के बिना कार्य कर रहे हैं। कानूनन यह स्थिति उच्च जोखिम वाली है — चाहे नीयत कितनी भी अच्छी क्यों न हो।

यह कार्यक्रम किसी भी प्रकार से अवैध प्रैक्टिस को प्रोत्साहित नहीं करता। इसका उद्देश्य केवल यह सुनिश्चित करना है कि:

  • मरीजों को समय पर सही रेफरल मिले
  • गंभीर स्थितियों में देरी या नुकसान न हो
  • प्रैक्टिशनर अनजाने में आपराधिक दायित्व (Criminal Liability) में न फँसें
  • प्रतिभागी वैध शैक्षणिक मार्गों की ओर निर्देशित हों

Who Is This Program For?

This free safety-awareness program is intended only for individuals who:

  • Are currently interacting with patients at a basic, informal level in rural areas.
  • Do not hold any recognized medical qualification under Indian law.
  • Seek to reduce legal exposure and avoid patient harm.

⚠️ This program does not legitimize or regularize any existing medical practice.

Ground Reality (Legal & Clinical Context)

Across India, enforcement actions increasingly focus on:

  • Unqualified medical practice
  • Use of fake or unauthorized certificates
  • Patient harm arising from delayed referral or mismanagement

Courts have consistently held that lack of formal qualification and lack of legal awareness are not valid defenses in cases involving patient injury or death.

This program exists solely to reduce preventable harm during this transitional reality.

Healthcare Safety Awareness
Public Interest & Ethical Awareness

Why Is This Program Free?

HCTM’s position is guided by public interest and ethics — not commercial gain.

  • Public Safety First — Education that prevents loss of life or liberty must not be monetized.
  • Fraud Prevention — Many practitioners are misled by illegal “degree sellers” and self-styled councils. We aim to stop this exploitation.
  • Legal Awareness as a Right — Understanding legal boundaries and referral duties is essential to public health.

Scope of the Program

What The Program Teaches (Safety-Focused Only)

  • Emergency First Aid (Non-Invasive)
  • Red-Flag Recognition — identifying symptoms that must never be managed locally
  • Safe Referral Protocols — when, where, and how to refer patients immediately
  • Legal Awareness — understanding criminal, civil, and regulatory risks
  • Ethical Boundaries in patient interaction
Safety Awareness & Training
Primary Care Awareness — Non Clinical Authorization

What the Program Does NOT Provide

  • No medical degree — only CMS&ED diploma for primary care
  • No license or authorization to practice medicine like MBBS — valid only for primary care
  • No right to prescribe drugs — limited to primary care scope
  • No surgery or invasive procedures
  • No use of “Doctor” title
  • No replacement for MBBS / BAMS / BNYS / or any statutory medical qualification

This program reduces scope — it does not expand it.

⚠️ चेतावनी: फर्जी डिग्री, फर्जी काउंसिल और अवैध मान्यताओं से सावधान

फर्जी डिग्री, फर्जी काउंसिल एवं अवैध प्रमाणपत्र — वास्तविकता व कानूनी जोखिम

भारत में वर्तमान समय में अनेक निजी संस्थान प्राथमिक स्वास्थ्य सेवा प्रदाताओं की मजबूरी और डर का फायदा उठाकर उन्हें अवैध और फर्जी दस्तावेज़ बेचते हैं।

1. बैकडेटेड (पुरानी तारीख की) डिग्री

बैकडेटिंग को न्यायालय जानबूझकर की गई धोखाधड़ी मानते हैं। यह केवल “गलती” या “अज्ञानता” नहीं मानी जाती।

2. स्वघोषित (Self-Styled) काउंसिल

भारत में स्वास्थ्य से जुड़ी काउंसिल केवल कानून द्वारा स्थापित होती हैं। किसी निजी संस्था के सर्टिफिकेट कानूनी रूप से शून्य (Void) होते हैं।

3. सरकारी नामों का दुरुपयोग

“National”, “Central”, “Council” जैसे शब्द जोड़ने से संस्था सरकारी नहीं हो जाती। नाम सरकारी जैसा होना ≠ संस्था सरकारी होना।

HCTM की स्थिति

HCTM कोई डिग्री नहीं बेचता, न ही बैकडेटेड सर्टिफिकेट जारी करता है। हम केवल कानूनी जागरूकता और सही मार्ग दिखाते हैं।

कानून से बचने का रास्ता फर्जी डिग्री नहीं — सही जानकारी और सही निर्णय है।
