Patients Rights Day

My friend Ankuran Dutta is spearheading a movement to institutionalize Patients Rights. As health care is becoming a big business moving slowly into private domain- incidents of patient negligence and financial coercion is increasing. Lack of accountability on the part of the doctors and hospitals makes the patients and their relatives vulnerable. Ankuran is a victim of such negligence which took the life of his wife Anamika at the age of thirty six. Instead of suffering silently Ankuran has decided to fight back for the right of the patients. 
He has started to observe this day 25 June as Patients Rights Day to raise awareness about medical negligence.
I am with him. Are you?
