Abstract

Hospital violence is defying a solution, despite several efforts at the hospital level and at the Government level. Some States do have a specific legislation for prevention of violence against healthcare personnel or damage to hospital property, but these have made little difference. Demand for Central law on this has been under debate for some time but one is not sure if that would also help. The authors in this article have suggested a way forward, if the law on this issue (Central or State) has to bring adequate results.
