Union government cannot evade its responsibility to provide affordable healthcare: Supreme Court

The top court, however, was left unimpressed with the submission and ordered the Union Health Ministry to convene a meeting with the Health Ministries of States and Union Territories.

“The Secretary, Department of Health, Union of India, can always hold a meeting with his counterparts of the State Governments/Union Territories to do the needful. Nowadays, physical meetings are also not necessary, it can be arranged through virtual mode.
